Sunrise times shift every single day — by minutes in summer, barely at all near the equator. Photographers chase the golden hour, gardeners plan around frost and daylight, and early risers just want to know when the sky starts changing.

FAQ
How accurate are the times?
Within a minute or two for most locations. The math uses standard astronomical formulas; local hills and tall buildings can shift what you actually see.
Can I check any date, past or future?
Yes — any date works, so you can plan a December trip’s daylight or check what time the sun rose on the day you were born.
Is my location sent to a server?
No. The coordinates you enter are used only inside your browser to run the calculation — nothing is transmitted.
