Question 1

How accurate are the sunrise and sunset times?

Accepted Answer

Times are calculated using the NOAA Solar Calculator algorithm based on each city's latitude and longitude. Results are accurate to within one to two minutes for most locations worldwide.

Question 2

What is golden hour?

Accepted Answer

Golden hour is the period shortly after sunrise or just before sunset when sunlight is warm, low-angle, and softly diffused - ideal for photography. EasyTime shows dawn and dusk times so you can plan accordingly.

Question 3

Why do sunrise times differ between cities in the same time zone?

Accepted Answer

Sunrise and sunset depend on geographic latitude and longitude, not the time zone name. Two cities in the same zone can have sunrises 30+ minutes apart if they are far east or west of each other.
