Pick a city from the dropdown, tap Use my location, or type a latitude and longitude directly; then choose a date. The result below updates as you change any field - nothing is uploaded and no calculation waits on a server round-trip.
The result table shows sunrise, solar noon, and sunset for the location and date you picked, plus the total day length in hours and minutes.
Golden hour (morning end and evening start) and civil dawn/dusk are shown alongside the main sun times, all in your device's own time zone.

Sunrise & Sunset Calculator
Pick a city from the preset list, tap Use my location, or type a latitude and longitude directly, then choose a date - the sunrise sunset calculator instantly shows that day's sunrise, solar noon, sunset, and total day length for the spot you picked, updated live as you change any field.
Golden hour and civil dawn/dusk are shown alongside the main sun times. Golden hour is the low-angle-sun window many photographers favor for warm, soft light; the calculator gives both the morning end-time and the evening start-time. Civil dawn and civil dusk mark when the sky is light enough to see outdoors without artificial light, just before sunrise and just after sunset.
Day length changes with both latitude and the time of year because the sun's angle above the horizon depends on how far north or south a location sits and how far the year has moved past the equinox. Locations near the equator see roughly 12-hour days year-round, while higher latitudes swing between long summer days and short winter days. Set the date to any day, past or future, to see how the times shift.
Times are shown in your device's own time zone, since the calculation runs locally in the browser. The calculator does not include a moon-phase mode or a multi-day forecast table, and city input is a curated preset list rather than free-text search - use your device location or manual coordinates for a spot that is not on the list. The calculation runs locally in the browser - no upload and no account.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the sunrise sunset calculator show?
Sunrise, solar noon, sunset, total day length, golden hour (morning and evening), and civil dawn/dusk for any city, device location, or manually entered latitude/longitude, on any date you choose.
Does it work for any location, not just the preset cities?
Yes. The city dropdown is a shortcut for 16 major cities; you can also tap Use my location, or type any latitude and longitude directly, to get times for that exact spot.
What time zone are the results shown in?
Your device's own time zone, since every calculation runs locally in your browser. If you calculate for a location far from your own time zone, remember the displayed time follows your device, not the location.
What is golden hour and why does the calculator show it?
Golden hour is the period of low, warm sunlight shortly after sunrise and shortly before sunset that photographers often prefer. The calculator shows when the morning golden hour ends and when the evening golden hour starts.
Does this tool need an internet connection or send my location anywhere?
No. Once the page loads, every calculation, including the optional "Use my location" position, runs on your device - nothing is uploaded or sent to a server.
