Sunset is the moment when the upper limb of the Sun disappears below the horizon. This happens approximately once every 24 hours except near the poles. The exact time of sunset varies depending on your geographic location (latitude and longitude), the date, and other factors such as Earth's axial tilt and orbital position. Sunset times also shift throughout the year due to these factors. For example, in the Netherlands on August 23, 2025, sunset is expected to occur roughly between 8:30 PM and 9:40 PM local time depending on the town. The sunset time changes slightly day to day through the year, generally getting later from winter to summer and earlier from summer to winter.
If you want the exact sunset time for your specific location, you can use local sunset calculators or websites that provide sunrise and sunset data based on coordinates and date.
