What counts as sunset?
Sunset is the moment the upper edge of the Sun disappears below a flat horizon. Hills, buildings and haze can make the Sun vanish from view a few minutes earlier. After sunset the sky stays bright for a while during civil twilight, which is short in the tropics and much longer at high latitudes in summer.
Golden hour
The warm, soft light photographers call the golden hour falls in roughly the last 40 minutes before sunset. Clear or partly cloudy skies give the best colours, so check the chance of rain first.
