What time does the sun rise in Berlin today?

Today's sunrise and sunset times for Berlin are calculated using your device's location or the coordinates you enter. The times depend on Berlin's latitude (52.5°) and the current date. Solar Insight Pro uses the USNO algorithm accurate to ±1 minute. Enter Berlin as your location above and select today's date to see the exact sunrise, sunset, solar noon, golden hour, and blue hour times.

When is golden hour in Berlin?

Golden hour at Berlin occurs during the first hour after sunrise and the last hour before sunset, when the sun sits between −4° and 6° above the horizon. At Berlin's latitude (52.5°), golden hour lasts approximately 40–70 minutes. During summer months, the longer twilight at this latitude extends the golden hour window compared to equatorial locations. Open the Photography Mode tab to see countdown timers for the next golden hour and blue hour windows.

How does Berlin's latitude affect daylight hours?

Berlin at latitude 52.5° experiences significant seasonal variation in daylight. Summer days reach approximately 16.6h of daylight at the solstice, while winter days drop to approximately 16.6h — a 0.0h difference between seasons. The sun's maximum altitude ranges from 60.9° in summer to 14.0° in winter. This high-latitude pattern is why Berlin has such pronounced seasonal changes in sunrise and sunset times compared to locations near the equator.

How accurate are sunrise times for Berlin?

Sunrise and sunset calculations for Berlin use the Jean Meeus Chapter 25 solar position algorithm, verified against the USNO Astronomical Almanac. Accuracy is ±1 minute for dates between 1901–2099. The algorithm accounts for atmospheric refraction (34 arcminutes at the horizon) and uses Berlin's precise coordinates (52.5°, 13.4°). For sub-second astrometric accuracy, consult the USNO data service directly. — Solar Insight Pro, fastool.io

How Solar Calculations Work at Berlin's Latitude

Latitude & Daylight at Berlin

Berlin sits at latitude 52.5°. At this latitude, daylight varies from approximately 16.6h in summer (solstice) to 16.6h in winter — a seasonal swing of 0.0h. The sun reaches a maximum altitude of 60.9° at summer solstice and a minimum of 14.0° at winter solstice. This high-latitude profile is what shapes Berlin's unique sunrise, sunset, and golden hour patterns year-round.

Golden Hour Photography at Berlin

Golden hour at Berlin occurs when the sun sits between −4° and 6° above the horizon, producing soft, warm, directional light ideal for portrait and landscape photography. At Berlin's latitude, morning golden hour typically starts in the 1–2 hours after sunrise and lasts approximately 40–70 minutes. Evening golden hour mirrors this before sunset. The longer twilight at this latitude gives photographers more time to capture the 'magic hour' compared to equatorial locations where the sun sets more steeply.

UV Exposure & Sun Safety at Berlin

UV radiation at Berlin peaks when the sun is highest in the sky — around solar noon. At 52.5° latitude, peak UV levels vary significantly by season: summer months see UV indices of 4–6 (moderate), while winter months typically register 0–1 (very low). The World Health Organization recommends sun protection when UV index exceeds 3. At Berlin's latitude, this threshold is exceeded for approximately 4–6 months per year, making sun awareness a year-round consideration for outdoor workers and athletes.

How We Calculate Solar Data for Berlin

All solar calculations for Berlin use the Jean Meeus Chapter 25 solar position algorithm with bisection iteration, accurate to ±1 minute for dates between 1901–2099. Sunrise and sunset times define the moment the upper limb of the sun appears on the horizon, accounting for atmospheric refraction. Daily data is calculated client-side from Berlin's coordinates (52.5°, 13.4°) — zero server processing means your location data never leaves your device.
