About sunrise and sunset times in Washington DC

Sunrise and sunset times in Washington DC are computed astronomically from latitude 38.91° and longitude -77.04°, shown in EST (UTC-5) local time using the standard NOAA solar position algorithm.

Sunrise and sunset are defined as the moment the upper edge of the sun touches the horizon, accounting for atmospheric refraction. "Civil twilight" begins ~30 minutes before sunrise and ends ~30 minutes after sunset.
