Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

The earliest sunset of the year is at 15:36 on 14 December; the latest is 21:57 on 24 June. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 04:25 on 18 June to 08:39 on 29 December.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 18m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Copenhagen different

At 55.7°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 37 minutes to arrive: 13 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.

The shallow approach angle at 55.7° stretches this evening's golden hour to 71 minutes, against about 40 for a city on the equator today.

Over a year the sunset point slides 90° along the horizon, from SW at the December solstice to NW in June. Today it is W.

Sunset drifts 3 minutes earlier each day this month — 76 minutes from the first of September to the last.

On 25 October 2026 the local clock shifts back an hour and sunset lands at 16:45 instead of 17:48. Worth knowing if you are planning a shoot that week.

Planning a sunset photo in Copenhagen

Arrive by 17:54. Golden hour opens at 18:09 and the sun is down by 18:58, 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 19:21 and runs to 19:35, the end of civil twilight and 36m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
