How fast Green Sea gains and loses daylight

The pace of change is not steady. Each month gains or loses a different amount, fastest around the equinoxes and nearly frozen at the solstices. The rate below is the daily change mid-month; the net is the full swing across the month.

Green Sea golden hour & blue hour by season

Golden hour is the warm, low-sun light; blue hour is the cooler twilight that brackets it. These windows come from Green Sea’s true solar geometry — the sun’s altitude, not a fixed hour — so they stretch toward the solstices and run longer than the rule-of-thumb hour.

Daylight saving time in Green Sea

Green Sea springs its clocks forward on Sunday, March 8, 2026 and falls back on Sunday, November 1, 2026. Between those dates the local clock runs an hour later, so sunrise and sunset both read later — though the amount of daylight is unchanged; only the label on the clock moves.

Clock changeDateUTC offset

Fall backSunday, November 1, 2026UTC−5

Why sunset time shifts in Green Sea

Sunset drifts through the year with Earth’s ~23.4° axial tilt — see the full daylight explainer.

In Green Sea, the longest day carries about 14h 26m of daylight and the shortest just 9h 52m — a swing of roughly 4h 33m between the June and December solstices. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider that gap; the pace also isn’t steady, moving fastest near the equinoxes and barely at all near the solstices. Every figure here is computed from the sun’s position for Green Sea’s exact coordinates, in local time.

Frequently asked

What time is sunset in Green Sea today?
Today's sunset time for Green Sea is shown at the top of this page in local time, updated daily from astronomical sun-position data. Sunset is the moment the upper edge of the sun dips below the horizon; the warm light lingers for a golden hour beforehand and a blue hour just after.
When is golden hour in Green Sea?
Golden hour in Green Sea is roughly the hour just after sunrise and the hour just before sunset, when the sun sits low and the light turns warm and soft — the favorite window for photographers. The exact start and end times for today are listed above; the window is shorter near the equator and longer at high latitudes. On Green Sea's longest day near the June solstice it stretches to about 14h 26m of daylight, so the golden hours run longest then.
What time is sunrise in Green Sea?
Today's sunrise time for Green Sea is listed above in local time. Sunrise is the moment the upper edge of the sun first appears over the horizon. Because Earth's tilt changes the sun's path through the year, sunrise drifts earlier through spring and later through autumn.
Is the day getting longer or shorter in Green Sea?
The day-length change for Green Sea — how many minutes and seconds of daylight you're gaining or losing compared with yesterday — is shown above. Days lengthen from the winter solstice in late December to the summer solstice in late June, then shorten again through to December.
