See the sunrise and sunset time in Moscow for any day — plus civil, nautical and astronomical twilight, solar noon and day length, computed from the town's coordinates. Day length here swings hard with the seasons — a full 10 h 33 min separates midsummer (17 h 33 min around 21 June) from midwinter (7 h 00 min).

Precise astronomical times. Sunrise, sunset and twilights are computed from the town’s coordinates (NOAA algorithm), with daylight saving included. Everything runs in your browser, no account, no data sent.
From the town’s coordinates (latitude, longitude) and the chosen date, the Sun’s position in the sky is computed. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s centre is at −0.833° to the horizon, and dawn/dusk at −6° (civil), −12° (nautical) and −18° (astronomical):
In Bucharest, on 10 July 2026, the Sun rises around 05:41 and sets at 21:02 — a day of over 15 hours. Pick another town or date for your own times.
The date defaults to today, so the calculator above shows it instantly. Through the year, sunrise in Moscow ranges from about 03:45 at midsummer to about 08:58 at midwinter.
Around the solstice (21 June) the day lasts 17 h 33 min — sunrise near 03:45, sunset near 21:19. At the opposite solstice (21 December) it shrinks to 7 h 00 min.
Due east and west only around the equinoxes. On the longest day it rises in the north-east (azimuth ~43°) and climbs to about 58° above the horizon at noon; on the shortest day it rises in the south-east (~133°) and peaks at just ~11°.
Because of longitude and latitude: more easterly towns see sunrise earlier, and latitude sets how much day length swings with the seasons. Times are computed from Moscow's exact coordinates.
Times use the Europe/Moscow time zone (UTC+3 all year). The zone does not observe daylight saving time, so no clock changes apply.
Not around the solstice: the sun never drops 18° below the horizon, so Moscow skips astronomical darkness entirely in midsummer — a faint glow lingers on the northern horizon all night. Full darkness returns as the nights lengthen.
