Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:31 on 12 November; the latest is 18:12 on 15 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 05:35 on 25 May to 06:11 on 31 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 7m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Georgetown different

From sunset to full civil darkness is 21 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 6.8°N accounts for the 3-minute difference.

Between solstices the sunset walks 47° across the horizon — WSW in midwinter, WNW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is W.

By the end of September the sun will be setting 15 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 32 seconds a day.

Twice a year the sun passes directly overhead here — on 7 April and 5 September — and vertical objects cast almost no shadow at solar noon.

The longest and shortest days of the year differ by just 47 minutes here. In London the same gap is around 8.8 hours. That is about 11 times less seasonal variation.

Around a solstice the day length flattens out, and that is where the calendar is now: the shortest day is 21 December, in 3 months, and sunset moves a mere 7 minutes earlier in the coming fortnight.

Planning a sunset photo in Georgetown

Arrive by 17:04. Golden hour opens at 17:19 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 17:59 and runs to 18:07, the end of civil twilight and 20m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
