Sunset Time Today

About this tool

Evening plans feel better when you know how much daylight is left. The Sunset Time page tells you what time the sun sets today in any US city or at custom coordinates, and lets you change the date to look ahead. Campers use it to pitch the tent before dark, cyclists use it to decide when to turn the lights on, and photographers use it to arrive early for the glow. The calculation relies on standard solar-position astronomy and is typically within about a minute of the real event. Remember that the sky stays bright for a while after the sun drops below the horizon, and the Sun & Sky Times page lays out every twilight stage so you can plan how long you have. Start your day with the Sunrise Time tool for the opposite bookend, or check the Moon Phase to see whether a bright moon will follow. If you are planning dinner outdoors, set a countdown on the Online Timer so you know when to head inside. Want a live clock for the location? Open the World Clock. More sky tools, including golden hour and blue hour, are in the Sun & Sky hub.
