What Time Does the Sun Set?

The day wakes at dawn and sleeps at dusk. However, these two different times vary in every region. Each region, in that case, having their own time zone. In simpler terms, here in Nairobi, Kenya (Africa), the time zone is UTC+3. This is shared by other cities like Moscow, Riyadh, Istanbul, Addis Ababa, Mecca and so much more. That brings us to our major question in this article; what time does the sun set?

UTC is an abbreviation the stands for Universal Time Coordinated. Different cities and countries around the world are in different time zones. It gets a little interesting in that, when its midnight here in Nairobi, it might be noon elsewhere in the world at that exact moment. So, how then can we know its sunset.

What Really Is the Meaning of Sunset?

In as much as the sun has always been the symbol of time, it only runs during the day. Daylight comes on as the sun rises and fades away with sunset. In other words, sunset refers to the going down of the sun past the horizon. That is always in the evening. The sunset today in Nairobi was at around 6:21 pm. This time always fluctuates with seasons and also regions.

Anyway, here the list of the same time record from different cities across the world:

Budapest, Hungary – 4:21 pm
New York, United States – 5:48 pm
Phoenix, Arizona, United States – 5:33 pm
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – 5:11 pm
Kabul, Afghanistan – 4:57

If you are interested in knowing each city’s sunset time for any day, you can follow this site for more. The world’s time and date calculator on that website avails all the varying times and dates depending on different regions and time zones.

What Is Important About Time of the Day

Are you a traveler or do you plan travel for tourists? Whether your answer is a yes or know, knowing different times and event from different places can really come in handy. It is important to know when the sun rises or sets before traveling or referring a tourist to any destination. Remember, in some places, daytime tends to be shorter than night. That explains why the sun sets earlier in some places compared to the rest.

Conclusion

All in all, we have all experienced sunset at least once in our lifetime. If that not so, then you should give it a try as soon as possible. It is the moment of the day when each soul reflects at what they’ve achieved that day. It is the same time that city lights go on simultaneously as if they’re bidding the sun farewell. It could happen sooner or later depending on what part of the world you are in. However, the feeling of watching the sun go down is universal.
