Sunrise & Sunset Calculator Step By Step
Sunrise & Sunset Calculator runs in three steps: pick a location, pick a date, then read the result table. This page walks through what each step expects.
Step 1 - pick a location
Go to Sunrise & Sunset Calculator. Choose a city from the dropdown, tap Use my location, or type a latitude and longitude directly. Nothing needs to be installed or signed in.
Step 2 - pick a date
The date field defaults to today. Change it to any past or future date to see how sunrise, sunset, and day length shift for that day at the location you picked.
Step 3 - read the result
The result table shows sunrise, solar noon, sunset, day length, golden hour, and civil dawn/dusk, all in your device's own time zone. Change the location or date again at any time; the table updates immediately.
The calculation runs locally in the browser - no upload and no account.
Why trust these tools
- Ten-plus years of web tooling. The freetoolonline editorial team has shipped browser-based utilities since 2015. The goal has never changed: get you to a working output fast, without an install.
- No install, no sign-up. Open a tool and get a working output in seconds - nothing to download and no account to create. Tools that need heavy processing run it on our service, so even a low-powered machine gets the job done.
- Analytics stops at the page view. We measure which pages get visited, not what you type or upload inside a tool. There is nothing to sign in to and no profile is attached to your input.
- Open-source core components. The processing engines underneath (libheif, libde265, pdf-lib, terser, clean-css, ffmpeg.wasm, and others) are public and audit-able. We link to each one in its tool page's footer.
- Free, with or without ads. All tools are fully functional without sign-up. The Disable Ads button in the header is always available if you need a distraction-free run.
