Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:52 on 6 December; the latest is 19:29 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 04:49 on 13 June to 07:19 on 6 January.

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

What makes sunsets in Mosul different

Sunset here is followed by about 26 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.

Photographers get 50 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.3× the 40 minutes available at the equator on the same date.

Summer and winter days differ by 4h 57m here, more seasonal variation than almost anywhere else in Iraq we track.

The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 59° round to WNW. Tonight, W.

By the end of September the sun will be setting 43 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 89 seconds a day.

Planning a sunset photo in Mosul

Arrive by 17:09. Golden hour opens at 17:24 and the sun is down by 17:58, 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 18:14 and runs to 18:24, the end of civil twilight and 25m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
