Golden hour questions

What is golden hour?

The time just after sunrise and just before sunset when the sun is low, between the horizon and 6° above it. Sunlight crosses more atmosphere at that angle, so it is warmer in color, softer, and casts long shadows, which is why photographers plan around it.

How long does golden hour last?

It depends on latitude and season, because the sun climbs steeply near the equator and at a shallow angle closer to the poles. Near the equator it lasts about 25 minutes; at mid-latitudes, roughly 35 minutes to over an hour depending on the season; and in high-latitude winters the sun may never climb past 6°, so the light stays golden all day.

What is blue hour?

Part of twilight, when the sun is between 4° and 6° below the horizon. Direct sunlight is gone and the sky takes on a deep blue. It comes before golden hour in the morning and after it in the evening, and at mid-latitudes usually lasts about 10 to 20 minutes.

Why do other golden hour apps show different times?

There is no official definition. Some apps start golden hour when the sun is 4° below the horizon instead of at sunrise, which makes it longer. Here it runs from sunrise to 6° above the horizon, and the minutes before sunrise are left between blue hour and golden hour. Hills, buildings and cloud also change what you actually see.

How are these times calculated?

From the city’s latitude and longitude and the date, using standard astronomical formulas for the sun’s position, with atmospheric refraction included at sunrise and sunset. Times assume a flat horizon at sea level and are shown in the city’s own time zone, including daylight saving time.
