Sunrise & Sunset Planner
Find the light for your day. Look up sunrise, sunset and twilight, then plan a month with a printable calendar.
Choose a place and date
Choose a city to begin.
On a small screen, scroll the table sideways to see all columns.

Each day shows sunrise and sunset. Choose a date for its full daylight and twilight details.
Downloads cover the whole month. Calendar events last one minute, do not block availability and have no reminders. Missing events are omitted.
Plan around daylight
Choose a city and date to see local sunrise and sunset times. The monthly table compares each day's daylight with the previous day, including the last day of the previous month. Switch to Calendar for a printable month, or export the events to your calendar app.
What do dawn and dusk mean?
Dawn marks the morning crossing and dusk the evening crossing of your chosen twilight limit. Civil twilight uses the Sun's center at 6° below the horizon; nautical uses 12° and astronomical uses 18°. These limits describe the Sun's position, rather than a guarantee of how bright the sky will look.
How are sunrise and sunset calculated?
Sunrise is when the Sun's upper edge appears at an unobstructed horizon; sunset is when it disappears. Calculations use a sea-level observer and standard atmospheric refraction. Mountains, buildings, elevation and weather can change what you observe. Times are estimates rounded to the nearest minute, not a guarantee of visibility.
What happens near the poles?
The Sun may remain above or below the horizon all day. A date can also have only a sunrise or only a sunset. We show those conditions explicitly. “No event” means the selected horizon or twilight crossing does not occur on that local date; it never means midnight.
Are daylight-saving changes included?
Times use the selected city's time zone and this browser's time-zone rules. Daylight is the actual elapsed sunlight within the local date, including sunlight across midnight. A clock-change date can contain 23 or 25 hours. Some historical date-line changes skipped an entire date; those dates are marked unavailable. Future time-zone laws may change.
Sources and calculation method
City coordinates come from GeoNames. Solar calculations use the locally hosted, MIT-licensed Astronomy Engine. Reference checks use US Naval Observatory sun data. City searches reach TimeCubby; calculations run in your browser. Nothing is saved automatically. A copied link includes your chosen city, date and display settings.
