Sunset Across Australia
Among the bundled cities in Australia, today’s sunset is 6:01 pm in Gold Coast and 6:36 pm in Perth. The city pages calculate the event from each set of coordinates rather than assigning one national time.
Australia currently has 5 distinct civil UTC offsets in the bundled locations. The two solar events are 155 minutes apart in absolute time, while their printed clock labels also reflect those civil offsets.
Terrain and a blocked local horizon are not represented in these astronomical figures. The calculation notes describe that limitation.
Questions People Ask
Is there one sunset time for all of Australia?
No. The event is calculated for a point on Earth, so select the city whose coordinates match the place you need.
Why is the displayed sunset time different between cities in Australia?
The cities differ in position and may also use different civil-clock offsets. Both affect the time printed on the clock.
