Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:14 on 7 December; the latest is 20:06 on 28 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 05:10 on 14 June to 07:56 on 5 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 11m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Pyongyang different

Clock noon and solar noon are 28 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 12:28 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.

At 39°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 27 minutes to arrive: 3 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.

Photographers get 52 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.3× the 40 minutes available at the equator on the same date.

The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 62° round to WNW. Tonight, W.

Across September the sunset moves 46 minutes earlier, averaging about 96 seconds a day.

Planning a sunset photo in Pyongyang

Arrive by 17:38. Golden hour opens at 17:53 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 18:44 and runs to 18:55, the end of civil twilight and 26m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.

Golden hour in Pyongyang — times, duration and the best months Morning and evening windows, the next seven days, and how much golden light each month gives you.
