Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:31 on 3 December; the latest is 19:46 on 30 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 05:29 on 12 June to 07:37 on 9 January.

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

What makes sunsets in Amman different

On standard time the sun peaks at 12:27, 28 minutes after clock noon, because the city sits near the western edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way.

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

The shallow approach angle at 32° stretches this evening's golden hour to 47 minutes, against about 40 for a city on the equator today.

Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 4h 11m here — among the narrowest of the 11 cities tracked in Jordan.

Over a year the sunset point slides 56° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is W.

Sunset drifts 78 seconds earlier each day this month — 38 minutes from the first of September to the last.

At 757 m the horizon sits 0.95° lower than at sea level, so the sun sets about 4.5 minutes later here than the standard tables suggest — roughly 9 minutes of extra daylight across the day.

Planning a sunset photo in Amman

Arrive by 17:40. Golden hour opens at 17:55 and the sun is down by 18:28, 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 18:42 and runs to 18:52, the end of civil twilight and 24m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
