Dusk through the year in Toronto

  • Earliest dark: December 3, 17:13
  • Latest dark: June 24, 21:39
  • When does it get dark in Toronto today? The sun sets at 18:51. It is dark – too dark to read outside without light – from 19:19, and fully dark from 20:26.
  • What is the difference between sunset and darkness? After sunset come three stages of twilight: civil down to 6° below the horizon, nautical to 12°, astronomical to 18°. In Toronto it takes 29 minutes today from sunset until it is dark.
  • When does it get dark earliest in Toronto? It gets dark earliest around December 3, at 17:13, and latest around June 24, at 21:39.
  • Why does it get fully dark later in the north? The closer to the polar circle, the flatter the sun sinks below the horizon, so twilight lasts longer. Around the summer solstice the sun no longer gets 18° below the horizon north of about 48.5° – then it does not get fully dark at all.
