The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:53 on 3 December; the latest is 18:58 on 1 July. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 04:52 on 11 June to 06:50 on 10 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Ningbo different

It takes roughly 24 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.

The shallow approach angle at 29.9° stretches this evening's golden hour to 46 minutes, against about 40 for a city on the equator today.

The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 55° round to WNW. Tonight, W.

Sunset drifts 74 seconds earlier each day this month — 36 minutes from the first of September to the last.

Planning a sunset photo in Ningbo

Arrive by 16:59. Golden hour opens at 17:14 and the sun is down by 17:46, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 269° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.

Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 18:00 and runs to 18:09, the end of civil twilight and 23m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
