Sunset and sunrise times in Bengaluru, India

Light lingers for 21 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 3 minutes shorter than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 13°N buys you.

Summer and winter days differ by 1h 31m here, less seasonal variation than almost anywhere else in India we track.

Between solstices the sunset walks 48° 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.

Across September the sunset moves 20 minutes earlier, averaging about 42 seconds a day.

Being inside the tropics means two zenith passages a year, 25 April and 19 August, when the sun is straight up at solar noon rather than merely high.

Standing 920 m up buys you 4.3 extra minutes of evening sun: the higher you are, the further over the curve of the Earth you can see, by 1.05° here.

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 9 minutes earlier in the coming fortnight.
