METEOROLOGY – OLAR RADIATION CALCULATOR
Sunrise Sunset Time
A precise tool.
What is the Sunrise Sunset Time & How does it work?
The time of sunrise and sunset varies depending on the location and date due to the Earth’s axial tilt and its revolution around the Sun.
Sunrise occurs when the upper edge of the Sun appears above the horizon, marking the beginning of a new day. Conversely, sunset happens when the Sun disappears below the horizon, signaling the end of the day.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Earth’s axial tilt affect sunrise and sunset times?
The Earth’s axial tilt causes different parts of the planet to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year, leading to changes in sunrise and sunset times.
What is daylight saving time, and how does it impact sunrise and sunset calculations?
Daylight saving time is a practice where clocks are advanced by one hour during summer months. This adjustment affects the calculated sunrise and sunset times for that period.
How accurate are these sunrise and sunset time calculations?
These calculations are generally accurate, taking into account factors like latitude, longitude, and atmospheric conditions. However, local weather can slightly affect actual visibility of sunrise or sunset.
Can I use this calculator for historical dates?
Yes, you can input past dates to find out the sunrise and sunset times for any day in history.
How do changes in elevation affect sunrise and sunset times?
Higher elevations can result in earlier sunrises and later sunsets because the observer is closer to the horizon, where the Sun appears to rise and set.
Is there a way to calculate sunrise and sunset for multiple locations at once?
This specific calculator is designed for one location at a time. For multiple locations, you would need to use it separately for each place.
How does the calculator handle changes in time zones?
The calculator takes into account the local time zone of the specified location and adjusts the sunrise and sunset times accordingly.
