Sunrise and Sunset Times

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.

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.

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

Sacramento, California, is the capital of California, about half-way between San Francisco and Lake Tahoe. It's quite a delightful place. (I'm not at all prejudiced, just because I happen to live here.)

Come here, and look west at sunset.

Alternatively, one of our local TV stations is KCRA, and they have a number of "skycams". Check out the link below.

The time of sunrise and sunset is very dependent on the date and exact location. A difference of 15 miles can change the time of sunrise or sunset by a minute. Please re-post your question with a city name or zip code.

As of August 19, 2010, if you were born on August 11, 1995, you would be 5487 days old.

The 20th of February 1942 was a Friday.

In the very Northern and Southern parts of the world, there are a few days when the sun does not set- so 72-96 hours or so.

__________________________________

At the north or south poles, the Sun is above the horizon for 6 months at a time. In places like Point Barrow, Alaska, the Sun is up from May 11 to August 2.

The sun sets at 6:16 pm in Destin, Florida on October 15, 2010.

The sunset time in Spokane on July 4th, 2010, was around 8:52 PM PDT.

The title "Sunset" may symbolize the end of something, like the end of a day or a relationship. It can also represent a sense of closure or finality. The beauty and fleeting nature of sunsets can evoke emotions of nostalgia or melancholy, which may relate to the themes of the story.

The time of sunrise in Washington can vary throughout the year. On average, the sun rises between 5:30 am and 6:30 am local time. It's best to check a reliable source for the exact sunrise time on the day you are interested in.

That depends on where on the planet you live. If it is the shortest day in your hemisphere, then you could have anything from 0 hours, if you are at the pole to 12 hours if you are at the equator.

no. on the first couple days of summer the sun sets i minuet later each night. after day light safeings times the sun sets about 1 minuet earlier each night.

It's not well studied. The blue lights used for treatment of neonatal jaundice are based on accidental discoveries that sun exposure was useful in the treatment of neonatal jaundice, but no follow-up studies I'm aware of exposed infants to the sun. In a test tube, sunlight is more effective than the blue lights at breaking down bilirubin (the hemoglobin byproduct that causes jaundice and more severe problems in excess). In studies with infants, green light worked slower than blue light, but reduced recovery times.

It is likely that phototherapy sitting in shade near a sun-lit green or blue surface (like grass and sky) would provide a positive effect on bilirubin, but you don't want to experiment with your baby if bilirubin levels are high. High bilirubin levels can cause brain damage, and it's not worth risking that. Talk to your doctor, get your child evaluated. If levels are high get the conventional treatment that is known to work. If levels are borderline, you might discuss with your doctor trying moderate sun exposure and testing again.

The precise time of sunrise and sunset are dependent on the date and the exact location. You can look up the daily sunrise/sunset times for any location in the world on the US Naval Observatory's web site at the link below.

Power-driven vessels less than 65.6 feet long must exhibit a white masthead light and a white stern light between sunset and sunrise when underway. Additionally, they should also display red and green sidelights when the visibility is restricted.

No, it is not possible to see the sunrise and sunset at the same place in a single day. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west due to the Earth's rotation. However, during certain times of the year in polar regions, there may be phenomena like the midnight sun where the sun is visible at midnight, but this is not simultaneous with sunset.

Yes and no, in the Northern Hemisphere June 21st is the longest day of the year but June 21st is also the shortest day of the year in the Southern Hemisphere.

In the northern hemisphere, it is the longest day of the year in terms of the amount of daylight hours because the northern hemisphere is tilted to its maximum towards the sun. For simplicity we usually refer to the 21st of June as being the longest day, but sometimes it can actually be on the 20th of June or on the 22nd of June.

For simplicity:

For the northern hemisphere = Yes

For the southern hemisphere = No

On the longest day of the year (June 21) the sun sets in New York City at about 8:30 PM Eastern Daylight Time (which would be 9:30 PM Eastern Standard Time). On the shortest day of the year (December 21), the sun sets at about 4:30 PM Eastern Standard Time.

The time of sunset or sundown for the Jewish community in New York City varies depending on the time of year.
