Sunrise & Sunset Times in Ballarat — March 2026

Sunrise & Sunset in Ballarat During March

March contains the autumn equinox around the 20th in Ballarat's Southern Hemisphere location. Day and night become nearly equal, and after the equinox, nights grow longer than days. The rate of daylight loss is at its peak near the equinox — up to three or four minutes per day. The sun's noon altitude drops noticeably, lengthening shadows and softening the quality of afternoon light. Some regions end daylight saving time in March or April.

Golden Hour & Twilight in March

During March, golden hour in Ballarat lasts approximately 54 minutes each morning and evening. The low sun angle during these periods produces warm, directional light prized by photographers and filmmakers. Civil twilight — the period when the sun is just below the horizon — adds extra usable light before sunrise and after sunset, extending the practical daylight window beyond the times shown in the table above.

Through March, days in Ballarat are shortening by roughly 2.4 minutes per day, adding up to about 1h 13m over the course of the month.
