Method

How these times are worked out

Sunrise and sunset are when the top of the Sun crosses a flat horizon, allowing for refraction. “Dark by about” is the end of civil twilight, with the Sun 6° below the horizon. Times are rounded to the minute for the city centre; hills, buildings and cloud change what you see. The same equations give London and Edinburgh times within 2 minutes of the US Naval Observatory tables. Coordinates: the clocks page’s nine cities, or each town’s primary coordinates on English Wikipedia.
