How it works

Twilight, golden hour and blue hour

Twilight is named by how far the sun is below the horizon. Civil twilight lasts until it is 6° below: there is enough light to be outdoors without lamps. Nautical twilight runs to 12°, when the horizon at sea fades. Astronomical twilight ends at 18°, when the sky is fully dark. Near midsummer at higher latitudes the sun never sinks that far, and the night stays in twilight.

Golden hour is the warm, low light with the sun between 4° below and 6° above the horizon; blue hour is the deep blue just before and after it, with the sun between 6° and 4° below. Photographers use these limits, though there is no official definition, and the light you actually see depends on the weather.

How we compute it

The Sun’s position follows the NOAA solar calculator (after Meeus, Astronomical Algorithms). The Moon’s position uses the Montenbruck & Pfleger lunar series, its rise and set Meeus’s standard altitudes for the upper limb with refraction and parallax, and the principal phases Meeus’s chapter 49. Checked against the US Naval Observatory: rise, set and twilight agree within two minutes, the phases within one.

Times are for a flat, sea-level horizon with standard atmospheric refraction. Hills, buildings, altitude and unusual weather can shift what you see by a few minutes. Near the poles an event may not happen at all on a given day; we say so instead of guessing.
