Why Sunrise & Sunset Times Matter

Photography & Golden Hour

Plan shoots around sunrise and sunset for warm, directional golden-hour light. Arrive early and check exact times on this page.

Agriculture & Gardening

Day length drives plant flowering cycles. Tracking sunrise and sunset helps gardeners time planting and seasonal crop rotations.

Scheduling & Travel

Knowing local sunrise and sunset helps travelers and remote workers plan meetings, outdoor activities, and daylight-dependent logistics.

How Sunrise & Sunset Times Are Calculated

Sunrise and sunset times are computed using precise astronomical algorithms that account for each city's latitude, longitude, and the date. Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt cause the timing of solar events to shift throughout the year.

Atmospheric refraction also plays a role: the sun appears to rise slightly before it technically crosses the horizon and set slightly after, typically adding 2–3 minutes of visible sunlight at each end of the day. All times are shown in the city's local timezone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Daylight hours vary by city and season across Macau. Today's exact sunrise and sunset times are in the table above. Cities at higher latitudes see more variation β€” longer days in summer and shorter in winter.
Cities at higher latitudes in Macau get the most daylight in summer and least in winter. Equatorial cities see more consistent day length year-round. Click any city above for its full solar data.
Daylight Saving Time observance varies by region. Visit individual city pages for Macau to see which cities adjust their clocks and when.
The longest day falls near the summer solstice β€” around June 21 in the Northern Hemisphere and December 21 in the Southern Hemisphere. See the seasonal daylight table above for exact times.
Solar noon is the moment when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky. It is not necessarily 12:00 PM clock time β€” it depends on your exact longitude and whether daylight saving time is active.
Civil twilight is the period when the sun is between 0Β° and 6Β° below the horizon. There is still enough natural light for most outdoor activities. It occurs just before sunrise and just after sunset each day.
Golden hour is the period shortly after sunrise and before sunset when the sun is low in the sky, producing warm, soft, directional light β€” prized by photographers and filmmakers for its flattering quality.
Sunrise and sunset times change because Earth is tilted on its axis at 23.5Β°. As Earth orbits the Sun, the tilt causes the Sun's path to shift β€” producing longer days in summer and shorter days in winter.
The equation of time describes the difference between solar time (based on the sun's position) and mean clock time. Due to Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt, solar noon shifts by up to 16 minutes throughout the year.
All times are calculated using standard astronomical algorithms, accurate to within 1–2 minutes of the actual observed sunrise or sunset. Atmospheric conditions can cause minor real-world variations.
