The warm light starts well before that: evening golden hour opens at 17:25, giving 29 minutes of low golden light before the sun reaches the horizon. Sunset is not the end of the light either.

Hlaingthaya gets 11h 58m of daylight today, from sunrise to sunset. Tomorrow will be 56 seconds shorter. Over the next seven days Hlaingthaya loses 6 minutes 31 seconds of daylight.

That pace is not constant. In Hlaingthaya the day length changes fastest around March, near the equinox, when it moves by about 57 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 Hlaingthaya?

The earliest sunset of 2026 in Hlaingthaya falls on 22 November at 17:30, 29 days before the December solstice, and the latest on 7 July at 18:43.

Sunrise runs on its own schedule: earliest on 3 June at 05:31, latest on 20 January at 06:38, 30 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.

How long does twilight last in Hlaingthaya?

First light in Hlaingthaya arrives 22 minutes before sunrise today, at 05:34. After sunset the light hangs on for another 22 minutes, until 18:15. That evening stretch is not the same all year in Hlaingthaya: it runs from 22 minutes at its shortest, in September, to 24 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 Hlaingthaya?

At midday on the June solstice the sun stands 83.4 degrees above the horizon in Hlaingthaya. On the December solstice it climbs only 49.7 degrees. The midday sun stays high enough all year that noon shadows in Hlaingthaya are always shorter than the object casting them, about 0.85 times their height at the lowest point of the year.

Twice a year, on 7 May and 5 August, the midday sun over Hlaingthaya comes within half a degree of straight overhead, reaching 89.97 degrees at its highest. On those days an upright post casts almost no shadow at solar noon, which is why they are sometimes called zero shadow days. It can only happen between the tropics, where the sun passes directly over a place at all.
