FAQ

What time are sunrise and sunset in Towton today?

Towton sees sunrise at 04:37 today, with sunset at 21:30. Daylight changes gradually through the year as the sun’s path shifts with the seasons.

How many hours of daylight are there in Towton today?

Use the Day Length figure in the Sunrise & Sunset section for Towton. It updates daily and is the clearest way to track how daylight is changing through the season.

Why do sunrise and sunset times change in Towton?

Sunrise and sunset shift through the year because Earth’s axis is tilted, changing the sun’s daily path across the sky from season to season.

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

Yes — the UK’s switch between GMT and BST shifts the clock by an hour, while sunrise and sunset continue to drift only slowly in solar terms.

What does ‘solar noon’ mean for Towton?

Solar noon marks the sun’s highest point in the sky locally. It doesn’t usually match 12:00 because civil time is tied to time zones and can be offset by BST.
