Times for sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset for every place in the world, calculated from coordinates and time zone. Enter coordinates as decimal degrees, without N, S, E, W, with - for S and W. Examples: 48.857, 2.352 for Paris, 40.75, -73.988 for New York City. Specify the according time zone, including daylight saving, if necessary. UTC is Coordinated Universal Time. The times are exact up to a few minutes.
For the Northern Hemisphere: in the summer half of the year, the sun rises earlier and sets later the further north you are. So further north, the day is longer and the night is shorter. In the winter half of the year, it is the other way round, the sun rises later and sets earlier in the north, so the night is longer and the day is shorter. The boundary between these two half-years is the equinox. From winter to summer, this is towards the end of March of each year, and between summer and winter towards the end of September. On these days, day and night are each 12 hours long.
The length of the lunar cycle does not correspond to the length of a day, a month or a year. Therefore, moonrise and moonset appear to be distributed rather irregularly over the months and the year. However, the phases of the moon occur at roughly the same time intervals. The new moon is more likely to be found in the daytime sky, although it is of course difficult to spot there. The full moon, on the other hand, dominates the night sky. The waxing moon rises in the afternoon and is then visible until the early night, whereas the waning moon rises late at night and is then visible in the sky until the next day.
