the time in the evening at which the sun begins to fall below the horizon
atmospheric phenomena accompanying the daily disappearance of the sun
the daily event of the sun sinking below the horizon
Local mean time at which the upper limb of the sun is seen to disappear below the true horizon.
The time when the upper limb (edge) of the Sun is co-incident with the horizon. Usually this includes the effects of refraction (34') and the semi-diameter of the Sun (16').
The time of day the Sun's apparent upper edge disappears below the western horizon (“true horizon”). All horizons are considered at sea level. sunPATH calculates the time and azimuth when the TOP of the Sun finally disappears at the “true horizon,” accounting for standard atmospheric refraction at sea level and ignoring terrain features. (The azimuth and altitude calculations during the day are for the CENTER of the Sun.)
The time when the upper limb of the sun disappears below the sensible horizon as a result of the diurnal rotation of the earth (no adjustment made for elevation of observer or atmospheric refraction).
The daily disappearance of the sun below the western horizon as a result of the earth's rotation. Time of sunset is calculated for mean sea level.
Sunset, also called sundown in some American English dialects, is the time at which the Sun disappears below the horizon in the west. It should not be confused with dusk, which is the point at which darkness falls, some time after the beginning of twilight when the Sun itself sets.
Sunset is one of the most ethnically diverse neighbourhoods in southeast Vancouver,British Columbia. The neighbourhood is bordered by Ontario Street on the west, Knight Street on the east, 41st Avenue on the north and the Fraser River on the south.
