Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:46 on 7 December; the latest is 20:32 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 05:43 on 14 June to 08:22 on 6 January.

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

What makes sunsets in Ashgabat different

Clock noon and solar noon are 58 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 12:57 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.

It takes roughly 26 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.

Evening golden hour runs 51 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 40 — at 38° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.

Between solstices the sunset walks 61° 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.

Sunset drifts 93 seconds earlier each day this month — 45 minutes from the first of September to the last.

Planning a sunset photo in Ashgabat

Arrive by 18:08. Golden hour opens at 18:23 and the sun is down by 18:57, 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 19:13 and runs to 19:23, the end of civil twilight and 26m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
