Sunrise and sunset in American Samoa
Sunrise today: 6:37 h
Sunset today: 18:02 h
(Times for Pago Pago)Sunset today: 18:02 h
Times for sunrise and sunset in American Samoa 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 hours the longest days happen to be in December. In June a night in Pago Pago lasts almost 13 hours.
In these days the sun in Pago Pago rises at 6:37. The Sunset can currently be watched at about 18:02 Uhr in the early evening.

Where does the sun rise in American Samoa?
The sun always rises in the east, everywhere and regardless of the country or continent. The easternmost city in American Samoa is Tau in the region of Manu'a. There, the sun rises at 6:32 am and sets at 5:57 pm these days. The latest sunset is currently experienced in the west in the city of Taulaga (Swains Island) at 6:08 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. Pago Pago lies on the 14th degree of southern 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 American Samoa it only lasts an average of 23 minutes. In June, it's about 23 minutes in Pago Pago, while in December it's 24 minutes.International cities for comparison
