Why Atlanta's Sunrise & Sunset Matters

Atlanta sits at 33.75°N latitude, near the western edge of the Eastern Time Zone — and that position on the map is why its clock times run so late. Summer sunsets reach about 8:52 PM EDT around the June solstice, among the latest in the eastern United States, and even at the December solstice the sun stays up until about 5:34 PM. Day length swings from 9h 54m in December to 14h 23m in June.

The city's elevation in the Piedmont foothills, around 1,000 feet, and its famous tree canopy give sunsets a layered look, with the sun dropping behind ridges and towers west of downtown. Summer humidity and afternoon pop-up storms frequently clear into wide, colourful evening skies, while autumn brings the crispest, clearest golden hours of the year.

FAQ — Atlanta Sunrise & Sunset

What time is sunset in Atlanta during summer?

Around the June solstice, sunset in Atlanta is about 8:52 PM EDT — one of the latest summer sunsets in the eastern US, because Atlanta sits near the western edge of the Eastern Time Zone. Sunsets remain after 8:30 PM through most of July.

Where is the best sunset spot in Atlanta?

The Jackson Street Bridge is the iconic skyline sunset view. Piedmont Park's meadow faces the Midtown towers at dusk, and Stone Mountain's summit, east of the city, gives a panoramic view of the sun setting behind the Atlanta skyline.

How short is the shortest day in Atlanta?

At the December solstice Atlanta gets about 9h 54m of daylight, with sunrise around 7:39 AM and sunset around 5:34 PM EST. The latest sunrises of the year come in early January.

Why are Atlanta's sunsets later than New York's?

Both cities share Eastern Time, but Atlanta is about 10 degrees of longitude further west, so the sun crosses its sky roughly 40 minutes later by the clock. In summer that pushes Atlanta's sunset close to 9 PM while New York's is nearer 8:30 PM.

Does Atlanta observe daylight saving time?

Yes. Georgia follows US daylight saving time, springing forward in March and falling back in November, which shifts sunrise and sunset an hour later in the evening during summer. All times on this page are shown in the correct local time for the date.
