Sunset time in Beijing

Sunrise time 06:20 and sunset time 18:24 on March 9, 2023, Beijing time.

The beautiful sunset appeared in the sky of Beijing. The photographer recorded the whole sunset with a time-lapse lens. Standing on the watchtower of the Forbidden City, they looked up. The setting sun dyed the clouds in various colors. As the sun sets slowly in the west, the clouds show different colors and the sky is full of sunshine. This moment is quiet and romantic, which makes people reluctant to blink.

Jingshan Park is definitely not the only place in Beijing where sunsets can be photographed. The best angle is the east bank of Kunming Lake, such as Yuquan Mountain in the distance of Tongniu Seventeen-hole Bridge at Foxiangge Cruise Terminal. At night, tourists will not have a quiet atmosphere. Yuyuantan park echoes the water and sky, and the visual effect of the combination of reality and reality is more spectacular.

Factors affecting sunrise and sunset time:

1, time zone (longitude)

Because different places in the world use different times, people living in different longitudes first see the sunrise and sunset, and then. In addition, changing daylight saving time and winter time will also affect the time when people see sunrise and sunset.

2. Latitude

Not counting the equator, the days in the northern hemisphere are long and the nights are short (direct sunlight) in summer. Except for the North Pole (extreme day), the higher the latitude, the earlier the sunrise and the later the sunset. At the same time, the southern hemisphere is in winter, with short days and long nights. Except the Antarctic (polar night), the higher the latitude, the later the sunrise and the earlier the sunset.

In addition, the inclination angle between the earth's rotation axis and the revolution horizontal plane is about 67 degrees, so the sunshine time is different in different regions, which is also a factor affecting the time of watching sunrise and sunset.

3. Height (altitude)

Height is also an important factor affecting the time of watching sunrise and sunset. Generally speaking, the higher the altitude, the earlier the sunrise and the later the sunset.
