Where does the sun rise in Kyrgyzstan?
The sun always rises in the east, everywhere and regardless of the country or continent. The easternmost city in Kyrgyzstan is Ak-Suu in the region of Ysyk-Köl. There, the sun rises at 5:21 am and sets at 8:02 pm these days. The latest sunset is currently experienced in the west in the city of Isfana (Batken) at 8:31 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. Bishkek lies on the 43rd degree of northern latitude and is therefore quite far away from the equator. While a sunset near the equator only lasts about 20 minutes, in Kyrgyzstan this period averages 34 minutes. In June, it's about 35 minutes in Bishkek, while in December it's 32 minutes.International cities for comparison
