Neat! Thanks for answering this!

Can you show me how you calculated that? Would love to learn!

Question:

Hello! I rarely do this on here, but a friend and I have been struggling with finding any good research on the topic now that we've graduated and no longer have access to science journals through university, so thought I'd ask here!

Common sense dictates that at sunset the eastern horizon will get dark before the western horizon. But do we know exactly, standing in any one position on earth, what the time difference is? How much faster does the eastern horizon get completely dark before the western horizon? Assume latitude: 24° N

P.s.: we know the sun doesn't rise or set true east or west, which is why I use the terms eastern and western horizon very loosely.

Thanks for such a detailed response.

I'm actually asking about the eastern horizon (opposite to where the sun sets in the west). And I'm only asking about the time difference between the darkness observed in the east compared to the darkness in the west.

How much sooner does the eastern horizon experience the 3 stages of twilight as compared to the western horizon?
