How these times are calculated
Every golden hour, sunrise and sunset time is calculated from the city’s coordinates, the calendar date and its local time zone. Golden hour is the window when the sun sits below 6° of elevation; day length is the interval between the calculated sunrise and sunset.
These are astronomical estimates for the listed coordinates. Local terrain, tall buildings, elevation and your exact position can shift the moment the sun first or last appears at the horizon.
