What time is sunset in Mississauga today?
The sun sets in Mississauga at 18:57 (just after midnight) today, Thursday, 1 October 2026, in Mississauga's own local time. The warm light starts well before that: evening golden hour opens at 18:19, giving 38 minutes of low golden light before the sun reaches the horizon. Sunset is not the end of the light either. Last light, the moment usable daylight ends at civil dusk, follows 29 minutes later at 19:26, and the sky is properly dark at 20:32, 1h 35m after sunset.
Tomorrow the sun sets at 18:57 in Mississauga. That is 1 minute 48 seconds earlier than today. Over the coming week sunset moves 12 minutes 24 seconds earlier.
Is the day getting longer or shorter in Mississauga right now?
Mississauga gets 11h 43m of daylight today, from sunrise to sunset. Tomorrow will be 2 minutes 57 seconds shorter. Over the next seven days Mississauga loses 20 minutes 36 seconds of daylight.
That pace is not constant. In Mississauga the day length changes fastest around March, near the equinox, when it moves by about 3 minutes 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 Mississauga?
The earliest sunset of 2026 in Mississauga falls on 9 December at 16:41, 12 days before the December solstice, and the latest on 26 June at 21:04.
Sunrise runs on its own schedule: earliest on 14 June at 05:36, latest on 31 October at 07:53, the last morning before the clocks go back. One of these dates is pinned by the clocks rather than by the sky: a daylight saving change in Mississauga moves sunrise and sunset by a whole hour overnight, so the earliest and latest times on the clock land on either side of it. The rest is astronomy. 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 | 14 Jun 2026 | 05:36 | 7 days before the June solstice |
| Latest sunrise | 31 Oct 2026 | 07:53 | the last morning before the clocks go back |
| Earliest sunset | 9 Dec 2026 | 16:41 | 12 days before the December solstice |
| Latest sunset | 26 Jun 2026 | 21:04 | 5 days after the June solstice |
These are wall-clock times, so Mississauga'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.
How long does twilight last in Mississauga?
First light in Mississauga arrives 29 minutes before sunrise today, at 06:48. After sunset the light hangs on for another 29 minutes, until 19:26. That evening stretch is not the same all year in Mississauga: it runs from 29 minutes at its shortest, in September, to 36 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 Mississauga?
At midday on the June solstice the sun stands 69.9 degrees above the horizon in Mississauga. On the December solstice it climbs only 23.0 degrees. A midday sun that low throws a shadow about 2.4 times the height of whatever casts it, so even at noon in midwinter the shadows in Mississauga are long ones.
