Sunrise & Sunset

Solar times & golden hour anywhere

Sunrise & Sunset gives you precise solar times for any location on any date — sunrise, sunset, golden hour windows, solar noon, twilight phases, and day length, all in one call.

It covers photographers planning the perfect shoot, travel apps showing daily light windows, and anyone who needs to know exactly when the sun will rise or set in a city they've never been to. Pass a city name or GPS coordinates, and optionally a date, to get the full picture — from astronomical twilight through civil dawn, golden hour, solar noon, and back to dusk.

What you can do

Who it's for

Photographers, filmmakers, travel planners, outdoor event organizers, and anyone building apps that depend on natural light timing. Works for any city worldwide.

How to use it

  1. Call times with a city name like "Tokyo" or coordinates like "48.8566,2.3522"
  2. Add a date in YYYY-MM-DD format for a specific day — omit it to get today's times
  3. For photography, use the golden_hour.morning and golden_hour.evening fields — these are the ideal shooting windows
  4. Save your home coordinates as credentials so you never have to pass them again

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a city name or do I need coordinates?

Either works. Pass a city name or `lat,lon` coordinates as the location.

Can I check solar times for a specific date?

Yes. Add a `date` in `YYYY-MM-DD` format. If you leave it out, the tool uses today.

Does it return twilight and golden hour too?

Yes. It includes civil, nautical, and astronomical twilight, plus morning and evening golden hour windows.

Can I reuse the same location without typing it every time?

Yes. You can save a default latitude and longitude as credentials and reuse them for repeat checks.
