About this tool
Knowing exactly when the sun comes up changes how you plan a morning. The Sunrise Time tool shows what time the sun rises today for any US city or custom location and date, so you can time a dawn run, set up a photo shoot, catch a sunrise hike or simply decide when to open the curtains. Times are calculated from standard solar-position astronomy and are typically accurate to within about a minute. Pick a place, check the date and you will see the first light of the day, with surrounding twilight stages available on the full page. Photographers often arrive before sunrise to scout the scene, so pair this tool with the Golden Hour Calculator for the best light. If you want the other end of the day, open the Sunset Time page. Curious about the night sky before you head out? The Moon Phase tool shows tonight’s illumination. For everything at once, the Sun & Sky Times page lists sunrise, sunset and each twilight stage together. Travelling across time zones? Check the World Clock so your alarm matches local time. Browse the whole Sun & Sky category for more.

Frequently asked questions
Why does sunrise time change through the year?
The Earth's axis is tilted, so how early or late the sun rises shifts gradually through the year, with the earliest sunrises near the summer solstice and the latest near the winter solstice (in the Northern Hemisphere).
