Sunrise & Sunset Calculator by Location
Sunrise and sunset times vary more than people expect — not just by season but by exact latitude and longitude. At the same latitude, being 5 degrees of longitude east or west shifts sunrise by 20 minutes. Coastal vs inland, valley vs ridge — these make real differences. Our tool calculates to your exact GPS coordinates for the most accurate possible times.
Who actually uses a sunrise calculator? Photographers planning golden hour shoots. Hikers timing dawn starts. Anglers and hunters who need exact civil twilight. Gardeners tracking daylight for plant care. People who just want to watch the sunrise and don't want to miss it. Construction and outdoor work crews planning daylight hours. And people traveling across longitudes who want to know when the sun sets in an unfamiliar city.
For outdoor trip planning, combine with our weather by location tool and our beach and hiking near me finder.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the times in local time or UTC?
Times are displayed in your local time zone as detected by your device — the same time you see on your clock. If you're calculating for a different location than where you are, the times will still reflect your device's local time zone.
What is civil dusk / civil twilight?
Civil twilight is the period after sunset when there's still enough natural light for most outdoor activities without artificial lighting — roughly when the sun is within 6 degrees below the horizon. Civil dusk is the end of civil twilight, when it becomes genuinely dark. It's the time most outdoor photographers stop shooting.
