When are the earliest and latest sunrise and sunset in Kryvyy Rih?
The earliest sunset of 2026 in Kryvyy Rih falls on 11 December at 15:53, 10 days before the December solstice, and the latest on 25 June at 20:49.
Sunrise runs on its own schedule: earliest on 16 June at 04:46, latest on 1 January at 07:35, 11 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 | 16 Jun 2026 | 04:46 | 5 days before the June solstice |
| Latest sunrise | 1 Jan 2026 | 07:35 | 11 days after the December solstice |
| Earliest sunset | 11 Dec 2026 | 15:53 | 10 days before the December solstice |
| Latest sunset | 25 Jun 2026 | 20:49 | 4 days after the June solstice |
These are wall-clock times, so Kryvyy Rih's daylight saving change is part of the picture: an hour moved by the clocks counts the same as an hour moved by the Earth.
