Novokuznetsk gets 11h 32m of daylight today, from sunrise to sunset. Tomorrow will be 4 minutes 14 seconds shorter. Over the next seven days Novokuznetsk loses 29 minutes 37 seconds of daylight.

That pace is not constant. In Novokuznetsk the day length changes fastest around March, near the equinox, when it moves by about 4 minutes 19 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 Novokuznetsk?

The earliest sunset of 2026 in Novokuznetsk falls on 13 December at 16:50, 8 days before the December solstice, and the latest on 24 June at 21:46.

Sunrise runs on its own schedule: earliest on 17 June at 04:40, latest on 30 December at 09:29, 9 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 Novokuznetsk?

First light in Novokuznetsk arrives 35 minutes before sunrise today, at 06:39. After sunset the light hangs on for another 35 minutes, until 19:21. That evening stretch is not the same all year in Novokuznetsk: it runs from 35 minutes at its shortest, in September, to 54 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.

For 80 nights of 2026, the longest stretch running from 13 May to 31 July, the sky over Novokuznetsk never gets fully dark. The sun stays within 18 degrees of the horizon all night, so astronomical twilight lasts straight through to dawn and the faintest stars never come out.

How high does the sun get in Novokuznetsk?

At midday on the June solstice the sun stands 59.7 degrees above the horizon in Novokuznetsk. On the December solstice it climbs only 12.9 degrees. A midday sun that low throws a shadow about 4.4 times the height of whatever casts it, so even at noon in midwinter the shadows in Novokuznetsk are long ones.
