Sunrise and sunset in the most important cities of Azerbaijan

The cities are ordered by their geographic position from east to west, so in an approximate direction of the sun's course. Since the orbit around the sun is elliptical, sunrise or sunset never happen on a whole longitude at the same time. All data given for February 7th., localtime in Azerbaijan

Duration of the sunset

The distance from the equator and the path of the sun determines not only the time of sunrise and sunset. The farther a country is from the equator, the more oblique the sun's path is to the horizon, causing sunset to last for a different duration. Baku lies on the 40th degree of northern latitude and is therefore very far away from the equator. While a sunset near the equator lasts only about 20 minutes, in Azerbaijan, this period averages 34 minutes. In June, it's about 37 minutes in Baku, while in December it's 32 minutes.

The sun always shines from the south

The capital Baku is located at 40 degrees north latitude and therefore also north of the Tropic. While the sun swings back and forth between the northern and southern tropics throughout the year, it shines on Baku from the south, but is never perpendicular to it. In December, the sun is so far away that even at midday it can only be seen 26 degrees above the horizon. (0 degrees is at the height of the horizon, 90 degrees would be a position directly above Baku.) It reaches its highest point at noon on June 21st. Then the sun shines down at an angle of 73.1 degrees.

Actual hours of sunshine

The period from sunrise to sunset is the astronomical length of the day. It is therefore independent of whether you can actually see the sun. In addition, significant deviations can be perceived depending on cloud cover or other visual obstructions. For the Baku region, we have shown the approximate sunshine duration in the graph here.

In June, the sun shines for around 10:18 hours a day. In contrast, the day is 15:06 hours long. This means that the visual obstruction is around 4:48 hours per day. In December, on the other hand, it is 6:52 of 9:22 hours.
