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. 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 Sun's light is "white" - a mixture of all colors. When the Sun is high in the sky, the light looks "white" - the light isn't colored.

The Earth's atmosphere acts like a prism; the atmosphere bends, or refracts, the Sun's light. You have probably seen similar things on the edge of a crystal, when sunlight is split into a rainbow. When the Sun is on the horizon - actually, just a little BELOW the horizon - the atmosphere refracts the light like a prism, and as the sun sets, we see for a split second all the colors of the rainbow in sequence. One of those colors is green.

You can see the "green flash" if you are looking over a water horizon such as the Pacific Ocean (or, from Florida, the Gulf of Mexico) or from a ship. You can only see it if the western sky is clear, without clouds or fog.

according to timeanddate.com, it should be at 7:21 PM.

The time of sunrise and sunset is very dependent on the 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.

The exact time of sunrise on December 22nd varies depending on your location and could be different each year. You can check a reliable source like a weather app or website for the precise sunrise time in your specific location.

According to Online sources the sun will rise at

7:10 AM and set 7:23 PM on March 22 in Little Rock, AR

On December 21, 2007, sunrise in Annapolis, MD was at 7:20 AM and sunset was at 4:46 PM.

That's only true in the summer. In the winter, it's the opposite, the nights are long, only 3 or 4 hours of daylight. The further north you go, the more extreme the day/night cycles are.

This is because the earth isn't "straight up and down" aligned with the sun. The earth is tilted, and as it rotates around the sun, the tilt is pointing closer towards the sun part of the year, and pointing away from the sun the rest of the year. Imagine the hands of a clock as being the poles of the earth. Instead of being at 12 and 6, the hands of the clock are at 10 and 4. Now walk with the clock around a lamp or a light source, always keeping the 10-hand pointed in the same direction. As you go around the light, you'll see the 10-hand point towards the light, then on the other side, point away. This experiment shows the seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres.

Also, take a look at the hand pointing towards the "4". The same effect is true there as well, so the same long-days in the summer, short-days in the winter effect happens in the extreme south as well, just at the opposite time of year.

It stays dark in Alaska because the earth's axis is tilted at at 23 angle. This means that during part of winter, parts of Alaska do not get light because even with the full 24 hour rotation of the earth, there is not a single position where they get sunlight.

The highest landform on Earth is known as Mount Everest, standing at 29,032 feet (8,848 meters) above sea level in the Himalayas.

Twilight is the time of day between sunset and darkness when the sky is partially illuminated. There are three types of twilight: civil twilight, nautical twilight, and astronomical twilight, with each stage gradually becoming darker. During twilight, the sky typically displays a range of colors from vibrant oranges and pinks to softer purples and blues.

These times are not the same everywhere; they depend on where you are on the globe. As an extreme example to illustrate the point, if you are very near the north pole in the winter, you will go long periods without a sunrise. Give a major city, and we can determine times for that area.

During winter in the northern or southern hemisphere, the Earth is tilted 23.5 degrees further back from the sun, so as the Earth rotates, anywhere on the winter hemisphere of the globe will experience more time in darkness than in daylight. Also during the winter, because we're tilted further back from the sun, it never gets very high above the horizon - even at noon.

The time it will get dark in winter is based on your latitude, for example in Houston, Texas, at 30 degrees N, the sun sets around 5pm and it is completely dark at around 6.10pm. Further north (in the UK for example) it starts getting dark before 4pm in the winter and even further north at the Arctic Circle, the sun never rises meaning that it is stays pretty dark all day long!

The coldest time of day is typically right before sunrise, known as the "minimum temperature." This occurs because the Earth's surface cools overnight as it radiates heat back into space without the sun's warmth.

I am working on a College Trig project where we have to find daylight hours for certain cities around the world...I found a website where you click on the first letter of the city you're looking for, and then choices come up, you chose the city you want and a table of daylight hours, temperatures, etc. comes up on a chart. the website is www.bbc.co.uk/weather/world/city_guides

Functions are basic blocks of code that work together. Functions can be used from the core PHP or can be created by users.

To create a function, use the following syntax: function function_name(arg1, arg2, ... argX)

{

//Any valid php code here

}

To use a function, use the following syntax:

function_name(arg1, arg2, ... argX);
