What Time Is Sunrise Today?

Sunrise time varies by location and season. Near the equator, sunrise and sunset times stay relatively consistent year-round. At higher latitudes, the sun schedule changes dramatically: summer days can have over 16 hours of daylight, while winter days may have fewer than 8. The arc visualization above shows the sun's position at the current time of day for the selected date.

Solar Noon and Daylight Hours

Solar noon is the moment when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky — directly due south (or north in the Southern Hemisphere). It is not necessarily 12:00 PM local time, since solar noon depends on your exact longitude and any offset introduced by your timezone. Daylight hours (day length) is the total time between sunrise and sunset.

Civil Twilight — Dawn and Dusk

Civil twilight is the period just before sunrise (dawn) and just after sunset (dusk) when the sun is between 0° and 6° below the horizon. During civil twilight, there's still enough natural light for most outdoor activities. This is the most commonly referenced twilight definition — nautical and astronomical twilight extend deeper into the night.
