Sunrise and sunset in Sudan
Sunrise today: 5:18 h
Sunset today: 18:14 h
(Times for Khartoum)Sunset today: 18:14 h
Times for sunrise and sunset in Sudan won't differ much all over the year. The reason is the only fair proximity to the equator. So in summer the sun moves slightly to the north and in the winter slightly back to south, but without much change in the distance. E.g. in the Nordic countries of Europe the difference is much more extreme.
With up to approximately 13:10 hours the longest days happen to be in June. In December a night in Khartoum lasts almost 13 hours.
Who wants to look at the sunrise in these days, has to wake up early. Sunrise in Khartoum starts already at 5:18 in the morning. The Sunset can currently be watched at about 18:14 Uhr in the early evening.

Where does the sun rise in Sudan?
The sun always rises in the east, everywhere and regardless of the country or continent. The easternmost city in Sudan is Tokar in the region of Red Sea. There, the sun rises at 4:53 am and sets at 5:58 pm these days. The latest sunset is currently experienced in the west in the city of Geneina (Western Darfur) at 6:51 pm.Duration of the sunset
The distance from the equator and the path of the sun determines not only the time of sunrise and sunset. The farther a country is from the equator, the more oblique the sun's path is to the horizon. And this causes a different duration that a sunset takes. Khartoum lies on the 16th degree of northern latitude and thus a good distance from the equator.While a sunset in the northern USA or central Europe can take almost an hour, in Sudan it only lasts an average of 24 minutes. In June, it's about 24 minutes in Khartoum, while in December it's 23 minutes.International cities for comparison
