Sunrise and sunset times in Iran are determined by the moderate location in the northern hemisphere. Not as extreme as in the Nordic countries, but still noticeable. The days are longer in summer (June to September) than in winter (December to March). With up to about 14:40 hours, there are the longest days in June. The longest dark nights, on the other hand, are in winter. A December night in Tehran lasts almost 15 hours and the days start about 3 hours later

During these days, the sun in Tehran rises at 7:13. The early sunset at 17:05 makes the day currently a bit too short.Back to overview: Iran

Sunrise and sunset in the most important cities of Iran

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 January 4th., localtime in Iran

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. Tehran lies on the 36th degree of northern latitude and is therefore quite far away from the equator. While a sunset near the equator lasts only about 20 minutes, in Iran, this period averages 31 minutes. In June, it's about 33 minutes in Tehran, while in December it's 29 minutes.

The sun always shines from the south

The capital Tehran is located at 36 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 Tehran 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 31 degrees above the horizon. (0 degrees is at the height of the horizon, 90 degrees would be a position directly above Tehran.) It reaches its highest point at noon on June 21st. Then the sun shines down at an angle of 77.7 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 Tehran region, we have shown the approximate sunshine duration in the graph here.

In June, the sun shines for around 8:30 hours a day. In contrast, the day is 14:37 hours long. This means that the visual obstruction is around 6:07 hours per day. In December, on the other hand, it is 5:12 of 9:48 hours.
