Exact sunrise & sunset, near you or any city
Sunrise and sunset depend on your exact latitude, longitude and the date — a single table can’t be right for every place. Astronaad shows today’s times for your location automatically and computes both from the real position of the Sun for any city above, with solar noon, day length and night length, accurate to the minute. In Vedic timekeeping the day begins at sunrise, so these times also anchor the Panchang and windows like Rahu Kaal.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I find the sunrise or sunset time near me?
- This page shows today's sunrise and sunset for your approximate location automatically, computed from the real position of the Sun — no sign-up needed. You can also pick any city above for its exact times, accurate to the minute.
- How accurate are these sunrise and sunset times?
- They are computed from the real position of the Sun for each city’s exact latitude and longitude, so they are accurate to the minute — not a generic table reused across cities.
- Why does sunrise differ between cities?
- Sunrise and sunset depend on latitude, longitude and the date. Cities further east see the Sun earlier; latitude changes the day length through the seasons. So each city has its own times every day.
- What is solar noon?
- Solar noon is the moment the Sun is highest in the sky — roughly midway between sunrise and sunset. It is usually not 12:00 on the clock, because clock time is set by time zones, not by your exact longitude.
- Why does sunrise matter for the Panchang?
- The Vedic day begins at sunrise, so the exact sunrise anchors the whole Panchang — the tithi, the nakshatra, and timing windows like Rahu Kaal and the Abhijit Muhurat are all measured from it.
