The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:54 on 4 December; the latest is 19:15 on 29 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 04:52 on 12 June to 07:07 on 8 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 10m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Baghdad different

It takes roughly 25 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.

The shallow approach angle at 33.3° stretches this evening's golden hour to 48 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 57° round to WNW. Tonight, W.

Sunset drifts 82 seconds earlier each day this month — 39 minutes from the first of September to the last.

Planning a sunset photo in Baghdad

Arrive by 17:06. Golden hour opens at 17:21 and the sun is down by 17:54, 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 18:09 and runs to 18:18, the end of civil twilight and 24m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
