FAQ

What time are sunrise and sunset in Buxton today?

Today in Buxton, sunrise is at 04:40 and sunset is at 21:32. Daylight length adjusts slowly across the year as seasonal sun angles change.

How many hours of daylight are there in Buxton today?

Check the Day Length value in the Sunrise & Sunset section for Buxton. It refreshes each day and shows the gradual seasonal shift in daylight.

Why do sunrise and sunset times change in Buxton?

They change with the seasons because Earth’s tilt alters the sun’s apparent track, gradually adjusting daylight length over the year.

Does daylight saving time affect sunrise and sunset clocks in Buxton?

Yes. When BST begins or ends, the published clock times move by an hour, although the sun’s behaviour changes smoothly through the season.

What does ‘solar noon’ mean for Buxton?

Solar noon is the moment the sun reaches its highest elevation for your location. It rarely lines up with 12:00 on the clock because time zones and daylight saving are set for regions, not precise longitude.
