My Location

Sunrise and sunset times for my location

Tap once to get today's sunrise and sunset for exactly where you are, plus solar noon, civil dawn and dusk, and the full length of the day. Every time is calculated right in your browser from your coordinates — no account, no API, no waiting.

Tap “Use my location” to compute today's sun times for where you are. We'll use your precise GPS, or fall back to an approximate location.

Runs in your browser — your location is never stored.

What are sunrise and sunset times?

Sunrise is the moment the sun's upper edge appears above the horizon; sunset is when it disappears below it. Both depend on your latitude, longitude and the date. The gap between them is the day length. Twilight — civil dawn and dusk — is the lit period before sunrise and after sunset.

How to find today's sunrise and sunset

  1. Tap “Use my location” and allow the browser's location prompt (we fall back to an approximate location if you decline).
  2. Read today's sunrise and sunset times in the hero panel, shown in your device's local time zone.
  3. Check solar noon, the total day length and civil dawn/dusk underneath, then copy any value you need.
  4. See your point on the map, or convert it with the coordinate converter.

How accurate are these times?

Times are calculated from a well-tested astronomical model (the same maths used by SunCalc) and are accurate to roughly a minute for everyday use. They assume a flat sea-level horizon, so tall hills, buildings or your altitude can shift the real sunrise by a few minutes. Everything runs locally on your coordinates — nothing is uploaded.

Why day length changes through the year

Earth's tilt means the sun climbs higher and stays up longer in summer than winter. Near the equator day length barely moves; closer to the poles it swings dramatically, reaching the midnight sun and polar night above the Arctic and Antarctic circles. The tool flags those polar cases automatically for your latitude.

Frequently asked questions

What time is sunset today where I am?
Tap “Use my location” above and the tool computes today's sunset for your exact coordinates, shown in your device's local time. It works offline-style in your browser with no API. You can also see solar noon, civil dusk and the full day length at the same time.

Are the sunrise and sunset times in my local time zone?
Yes. Times are formatted using your device's clock and time zone, so they match what your phone or computer shows. If you want to confirm which zone you're in, check the time zone tool, which reads your locale and UTC offset.

What is civil twilight (dawn and dusk)?
Civil twilight is the period when the sun is up to 6° below the horizon — bright enough to see and work outdoors without lights. Civil dawn is the morning glow before sunrise; civil dusk is the lingering light after sunset, often called the “blue hour” by photographers.

Why don't I see a sunrise or sunset time?
At high latitudes the sun can stay up or down for a full day. If you're inside the Arctic or Antarctic circle in summer or winter, the tool shows “midnight sun” or “polar night” instead of times, because there is no sunrise or sunset on that date.

How accurate are the calculated times?
They're accurate to about a minute for normal use. The model assumes a flat horizon at sea level, so mountains, buildings and altitude can move the actual sunrise or sunset by a few minutes. For a precise spot, refine your coordinates and recompute.

Is my location sent anywhere to get these times?
No. The sun calculations run entirely in your browser using your coordinates — nothing about your location is uploaded or stored. If you decline the GPS prompt, we use a coarse, approximate location only to fill in the map and times.
