Sunrise Sunset Map Live
Rosalyn Pomposo
The thick yellow line shows where sunset and sunrise are currently occurring. The thinner lines lines show the boundaries of civil, nautical or astronomical twilight respectively. The Sun icon shows where on Earth the Sun is seen directly overhead.
Photographing sunrises and sunsets can be pleasant, but when using long lenses to get that sun bigger in the frame it can be difficult and especially dangerous (blinding) for the eyes to compose the image by looking through the viewfinder. Even shorter focal lengths can be dangerous with prolonged viewing. Tripod users can use the DOF preview button to stop down the aperture and look at the resulting darker viewfinder. Even then, you may have to stop down more than you want for that purpose and then open up again at time of capture. For handholding (yes, some of us hand hold even for landscapes!), using that DOF preview button and simultaneously composing the scene is tricky at best.

You can change the suns positions for sunrise, selected time and sunset see. The thin yellow-colored curve shows the trajectory of the sun, the yellow deposit shows the variation of the path of the sun throughout the year. The closer a point in the center, the higher the sun above the horizon. The colors in the above time-slider shows the sunlight during the day. The sun on the time slider can be moved by mouse or with the arrow keys of the keyboard
We can estimate the time of sunrise and sunset for any location on the earth if we know the latitude, and longitude for that location. To estimate sunrise and sunset for any day of the year we need to calculate two values for a given date and place -- the equation of time and the hour angle.
Contemplating this scenario while gazing sunward at dusk or dawn, we might feel as if we could sense the difference between the two times of day. But in real life, it's impossible to completely divorce our perceptions of the scene from our awareness of the hour. So, is there any objective way to distinguish an upward-trending sun from a downward one?
All "twilight phenomena" are symmetric on opposite sides of midnight, and occur in reverse order between sunset and sunrise, the authors note in "Color and Light in Nature" (Cambridge University Press, 2001). That means there's no inherent, natural cause of a major optical difference between them. However, two human factors break their symmetry.
The first is in our heads. "At sunset, our eyes are daylight adapted and may even be a bit weary from the day's toil," Lynch and Livingston write. "As the light fades, we cannot adapt as fast as the sky darkens. Some hues may be lost or perceived in a manner peculiar to sunset. At sunrise, however, the night's darkness has left us with very acute night vision and every faint, minor change in the sky's color is evident." In short, you may perceive more colors at dawn than at dusk. [Red-Green & Blue-Yellow: The Stunning Colors You Can't See]
Human activities also drive a divergence between them. "At sunset the sky is full of pollutants and wind-borne particles," the authors write. "During the night, winds die down, smog-producing urban activity eases and the atmosphere cleanses itself. The dawn is clearer than any other time of day."
It's a matter of opinion whether pollution or a lack of it makes for prettier twilights. At dawn, clearer skies enable more brilliant reds and oranges to make their way through the atmosphere to your eyes, whereas thicker atmospheres at dusk tend to dull these colors, leading to more washed-out sunsets. On the other hand, more dust and smog (at sunset) can have the effect of scattering light across a greater region of the sky, creating a larger drape of colors, whereas sunrise colors tend to be more focused around the sun. Whichever you prefer, you can frequently tell a sunrise from a sunset by the fact that the latter appears more chaotic, and the former, tidier.
According to the astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson, director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York, there's also a trick for distinguishing a sunrise from a sunset played in reverse. Because of Earth's tilt, the sun doesn't rise or set along a vertical line, but at an angle. "When viewed from all latitudes north of the Tropic of Cancer (23.5 degrees north latitude), the sun always rises at an angle up and to the right, and sets and an angle down and to the right," Tyson writes on his website. "That's how you can spot a faked sunrise in a movie: it moves up and to the left. Filmmakers are not typically awake in the morning hours to film an actual sunrise, so they film a sunset instead, and then time-reverse it, thinking nobody will notice."

Obviously, sunrise and sunset times are different depending on where in the world you are. So I figured my Tapo app must think I live in some exotic location. However, I couldn't find any setting to let the app know where we are. The timezone is listed in device info and set correctly, but of course the time zone says very little about sunrise and sunset times.
You can see sun positions at sunrise, specified time and sunset. The thin orange curve is the current sun trajectory, and the yellow area around is the variation of sun trajectories during the year. The closer a point is to the center, the higher is the sun above the horizon. The colors on the time slider above show sunlight coverage during the day.
Knowing the exact times of sunrise and sunset is critical to setting hunting activities by the natural time clock. The map shows six time zones for our state. Sunrise and sunset for Zone B are shown in the ZONE B table. To determine the exact sunrise and sunset time for zones A, C, D, E, and F, add or subtract the minutes shown for each zone on the map to the time shown in the ZONE B table. EXAMPLE ONLY - November 1, Zone B sunrise = 6:37 a.m. For Zone A sunrise subtract four (-4) minutes = 6:33 a.m.
Bottom line: The solstice comes on December 22, 2023, at 3:27 UTC. Does that coincide with the earliest sunsets? It depends on where you live. The earliest sunsets at mid-northern latitudes happen weeks before the solstice. By comparison, latitudes closer to the equator have their earliest sunsets in late November, or earlier in December. And then latitudes closer to the Arctic Circle will have their earliest sunsets closer to the December solstice.
World famous Jones Beach State Park, home of 6.5 miles of beautiful white-sand beach on the Atlantic Ocean, is made up of more than 2,400-acres of maritime environment on the south shore of Long Island. Among the 8 million visitors to the park each year, families enjoy their own piece of the beach for a day, with many returning dozens of times through the summer. Designed on the theme of an ocean liner, Jones Beach offers many activities to those who visit the park. They swim in the ocean, stroll the boardwalk, fish, get a bite to eat at one of the many concession stands, visit the Boardwalk Cafe, Dine-in a the Gatsby on the Ocean Restaurant, Enjoy the WildPlay Adventure Park, play miniature golf, shuffleboard, basketball, corn hole, paddle tennis, table tennis and pickleball, attend concerts at Northwell Health Theatre. Other activities that take place in the park include learning about the marine environment at the Jones Beach Energy & Nature Center, pool swimming, sunbathing, bicycling, surfing, and visiting the playgrounds and splashpad.
The park's oceanfront setting and natural environment have little development or advertising, creating a refreshing break from the hectic pace of life of Long Island and the metropolitan area. Less than 20 miles from New York City, Jones Beach is a playground for millions of people who live nearby.
