Where does the sun rise in East Timor?
The sun always rises in the east, everywhere and regardless of the country or continent. The easternmost city in Timor-Leste is Lospalos in the region of . There, the sun rises at 6:37 am and sets at 6:20 pm these days. The latest sunset is currently experienced in the west in the city of Pante Makasar at 6:29 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. Dili lies on the 9th degree of southern latitude and thus very close to the equator. While a sunset in the northern USA or central Europe can take almost an hour, in Timor-Leste it only lasts an average of 23 minutes. Timor-Leste is so close to the equator that there is no noticeable difference even between June and December.International cities for comparison
