Where does the sun rise in Tajikistan?
The sun always rises in the east, everywhere and regardless of the country or continent. The easternmost city in Tajikistan is Murghob in the region of Gorno-Badakhshan. There, the sun rises at 4:43 am and sets at 7:19 pm these days. The latest sunset is currently experienced in the west in the city of Panjakent (Viloyati Sughd) at 7:48 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. Dushanbe lies on the 39th 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 Tajikistan this period averages 31 minutes. In June, it's about 32 minutes in Dushanbe, while in December it's 30 minutes.International cities for comparison
