Enter your latitude, longitude, date, and UTC offset to calculate your local sunrise and sunset times. You'll also get solar noon, day length, dawn, and dusk — everything you need to plan around daylight for any location on Earth.

You can find your coordinates by searching your city name on Google Maps, right-clicking the location, and selecting the coordinates shown. GPS apps on your phone also display your current latitude and longitude. Latitude ranges from -90 (South Pole) to 90 (North Pole), and longitude ranges from -180 to 180.
UTC offset is the difference in hours between your local time zone and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). For example, New York (Eastern Standard Time) is UTC-5, London (GMT) is UTC+0, and Tokyo (JST) is UTC+9. You can find your offset by searching 'my time zone UTC offset' or checking your device's clock settings.
Sunrise is the moment the upper edge of the sun appears above the horizon. Civil dawn occurs slightly earlier, when the sun is 6 degrees below the horizon and there is enough light for most outdoor activities without artificial lighting. Civil dusk is the equivalent period after sunset.
The Earth's axial tilt (about 23.5°) and its elliptical orbit around the Sun cause sunrise and sunset times to shift throughout the year. Days are longest near the summer solstice and shortest near the winter solstice. At the equinoxes (around March 20 and September 22), day and night are approximately equal in length.
Solar noon is the moment when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky for that day at your location. It is not always at 12:00 PM local time — it depends on your longitude within your time zone and the equation of time. Solar noon divides the day into two equal halves of solar time.
Civil twilight occurs when the sun is between 0° and 6° below the horizon — bright enough for most activities. Nautical twilight is when the sun is 6°–12° below the horizon, dim enough to see major stars but still with a glow on the horizon. Astronomical twilight spans 12°–18° below the horizon, after which the sky is fully dark for observation.
Yes — check the 'Daylight Saving Time' checkbox if your region currently observes DST. This adds one hour to the calculated times. Remember that DST dates vary by country and region, so verify whether DST is currently active for your location before checking the box.
At high latitudes (near the poles), the sun may not rise or set at all during certain times of year. In summer, polar regions experience the midnight sun, where the sun stays above the horizon for 24 hours. In winter, they experience polar night, where it never rises. This is a natural result of Earth's axial tilt.
