Visualize when the sun goes up and down

About this tool

Here you can visualize when the sun sets and rises each day throughout a year based on a particular location. The vertical axis displays the time down to the minute, the horizontal axis shows the date. After the sun sets (or before it rises) we have twilight zones, nautical and astronomical twilight, equivalent to how many degrees the sun is below the horizon. This is visualized with darkening areas.

The Belt of Venus is an atmospheric phenomenon which renders a pinkish glow, a band above the Earth's shadow. The particles and molecules in the atmosphere change the direction of light rays and, together with the distance of the sun below the horizon, this makes us see pink colours.

OpenStreetMap (OSM) uses localized names for places, which means that the names you receive in search results might be in the local language or based on the mapping data available in the OpenStreetMap database.
