The warm light starts well before that: evening golden hour opens at 17:34, giving 34 minutes of low golden light before the sun reaches the horizon. Sunset is not the end of the light either.

Tomorrow the sun sets at 18:07 in Changwon. That is 1 minute 25 seconds earlier than today. Over the coming week sunset moves 9 minutes 43 seconds earlier.
Is the day getting longer or shorter in Changwon right now?
Changwon gets 11h 48m of daylight today, from sunrise to sunset. Tomorrow will be 2 minutes 11 seconds shorter. Over the next seven days Changwon loses 15 minutes 15 seconds of daylight.
That pace is not constant. In Changwon the day length changes fastest around March, near the equinox, when it moves by about 2 minutes 14 seconds per day, and it slows almost to a stop at the solstices in June and December. The word solstice means exactly that: the sun standing still.
When are the earliest and latest sunrise and sunset in Changwon?
The earliest sunset of 2026 in Changwon falls on 5 December at 17:12, 16 days before the December solstice, and the latest on 29 June at 19:43.
Sunrise runs on its own schedule: earliest on 13 June at 05:10, latest on 7 January at 07:34, 17 days after the December solstice. The four dates in the table below do not line up with the solstices, and they are not supposed to. Earth's orbit is slightly elliptical and its axis is tilted, so the sun runs a few minutes fast or slow against clock time through the year. That offset, the equation of time, is what pushes the earliest sunset ahead of the shortest day and the latest sunrise behind it.
| Extreme | Date | Local time | Why then |
|---|---|---|---|
| Earliest sunrise | 13 Jun 2026 | 05:10 | 8 days before the June solstice |
| Latest sunrise | 7 Jan 2026 | 07:34 | 17 days after the December solstice |
| Earliest sunset | 5 Dec 2026 | 17:12 | 16 days before the December solstice |
| Latest sunset | 29 Jun 2026 | 19:43 | 8 days after the June solstice |
How long does twilight last in Changwon?
First light in Changwon arrives 25 minutes before sunrise today, at 05:55. After sunset the light hangs on for another 25 minutes, until 18:33. That evening stretch is not the same all year in Changwon: it runs from 25 minutes at its shortest, in September, to 30 minutes at its longest, in June. The lower the angle at which the sun crosses the horizon, the longer twilight lasts, which is why dusk is a slow affair at high latitudes and abrupt near the equator.
How high does the sun get in Changwon?
At midday on the June solstice the sun stands 78.2 degrees above the horizon in Changwon. On the December solstice it climbs only 31.4 degrees. A midday sun that low throws a shadow about 1.6 times the height of whatever casts it, so even at noon in midwinter the shadows in Changwon are long ones.
