Sunrise and Sunset Times

The sun doesn't rise in the sunset.

On September 22, 2012 at Fontana CA, sunrise was at 6:38 AM PDT, and sunset was at 6:46 PM PDT.

No, Utah is in the Mountain Time Zone, which is UTC-7 during standard time and UTC-6 during daylight saving time. It is not one hour ahead.

That will depend on the time of year and whereabouts you are in Germany. In Berlin, the capital city, it sets at 9:30pm on the 21st of June and at 4:55pm on the 21st of December.

28 Aug. 2012 Grand Rapids sunset: 7:23 PM EDT

The sunrise time in Fayetteville, NC on September 1, 2012, was approximately 6:48 AM.

The time of sunrise and sunset is very dependent on the precise location and the date in question. Please re-post your question with the date and the city name or ZIP code. If you add the WikiAnswers category "Sunset Times", I'll see it.

You can calculate the time of sunrise and sunset easily by visiting the United States Naval Observatory web site's Sunrise & Sunset calculator. You will need the date, city and state for US locations, or the date, latitude, longitude and time zone for any other locations in the world.

The site is

You can also calculate the times of sunrise and sunset for one year at a given location at the site:

sunrise: 7:31 AM CDT

sunset: 8:23 PM CDT

A year is 8765.8127 hours. Although the length of days and nights vary by latitude and season over the course of a year, the time from sunset to sunrise will very nearly equal 12 hours per day on average, so there will be close to 4382.90635 hours of nighttime.

If one needs a more accurate value, one can use the online tables of darkness provided by the United States Naval Observatory (see reference) and add the values for each day (typically in a spreadsheet, using format [h]:mm:ss). This table allows you to specify all the relevant factors: location and year. As an example, the number of hours of nightime in Boston, MA for 2012 is 4316 hours and 49 minutes.

The other complicating factor in trying to answer this question is with respect to the definition of darkness. The crepuscular hours (twilight hours of either dawn or dusk) are strictly speaking neither daylight nor nightime. Thus, to fully answer this question, one would have to define nighttime.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

It has nothing to do with Islam in sub continent. During English rule in sub continent, jail administration was used to hang freedom fighters before sun rise. As in day time, there was high risk of attacks on jail.

In Pakistan, we have not changed many old practices of East - India Company.

The sunset time on August 1, 2012 in Sausalito, CA (zip code 94965) was at 8:17 PM Pacific Daylight Time.

On October 5, 2012, the sunset in San Diego, California was around 6:30 PM local time.

Depends on what kind of experience you wish the audience to have. If you can find a music notation software that can easily transpose it for you into different keys (I like noteflight--it's online and it's free!), you can have fun experimenting with that.

I have found keys with a moderate amount of sharps to be very bright (such as A and E) and keys with a moderate amount of sharps to be very mellow (such as Ab and Db). Anything else falls somewhere in the middle of the spectrum.

I personally have never seen a desert sunset, but knowing what sunsets look like, I would likely use Ab or Db. But the choice is completely up to you!

We have seasons because the earth is tilted. In the northern hemisphere, at the height of summer, the North Pole is tilted towards the sun. Thus the sun is high in the sky and takes longer to pass from horizon to horizon, giving us long summer days and shorter nights. The north pole has no night during the hight of summer summer, it is daytime 24 hours a day. In the mid-winter, the earth is on the other side of the sun and the north pole is therefore tilted away from the sun. Thus the sun is low in the sky and takes a shorter time to pass from horizon to horizon, giving us short winter days and longer nights. The north pole has no daylight in mid-winter and is in darkness 24 hours a day.

The shadow of a tree moves along the ground as the position of the sun changes throughout the day. In the morning, the shadow is longest as the sun is low on the horizon. As the sun rises higher, the shadow shortens and moves, reaching its shortest length around noon. In the afternoon, the shadow begins to lengthen again as the sun starts to set.

The colors in a sunset typically transition from red and orange to pink, purple, and blue. This order is due to the scattering of sunlight by particles in the atmosphere, which causes shorter-wavelength colors like blue and purple to disperse first, leaving longer-wavelength colors like red and orange to dominate the sky.

I do not have access to specific historical data such as the exact time of sunrise in Charleston, SC on April 12, 1861. I recommend checking with a historical weather database or consulting historical records for this information.

If you live in Mount Airy, MD the sun sets around 6:52-609 depending on the day of the month. http://www.sunrisesunset.com/usa/Maryland.asp -this link will show you were to find the sunrise and sunset times, just type in your City or Town. Hope that helps!!!!

No, the girl is seen at various times of the day.

I started wondering the same thing recently; it's not just Seattle.

In Seattle, the latest sunset is around the 25th, and the earliest sunrise is around the 15th. Where I live, the latest sunset is around the 30th, and the earliest sunrise is around the 10th (of June). The difference is even greater in December; Seattle's earliest sunset is Dec. 10, and the latest sunrise is on New Year's.

It has to do with the variables that affect the length of the day, such as the varying speed of the earth in its orbit. The different variables are calculated together in what they call the "equation of time", which, when graphed, shows you for each day the difference between usual local noon and the actual middle of the day. It's the same offset you see illustrated on an analemma on a globe.

So, bottom line, it's because we measure time as if every day were exactly 24 hours long, which is the average length of a day, while in reality the day ranges from 23:45 to 24:15 in length.

Only the north and south poles experience 6 months daylight/night, however the "midnight sun" can be seen for a few weeks in some locations north of the Arctic circle - such as northern Norway, Alaska etc.

On September 29, 2012, the sunset in Malibu, California was at approximately 6:38 PM.

it is quite simple ... wherever you are you should search about the Makka- Al qaaba location... for example if you are in USA you should pray to the east direction because Makka is in the east of you... if you are in Germany you should pray to the east south.... if you are on a board of ship or plane just pray regardless to the direction... if you are in a place and you do not know the directions .. you can presume the direction of makka from the sun rise and sunset directions ... if it is impossible to do all of this things ... it is not a problem to pray to any direction ... because you pray to Allah not to the direction.
