Dawn & Dusk
•Dawn & Dusk:
•Long Dusk in December (about 2h)
•Short Dusk in June (about 1h)
Dusk & Dawn: The time required by the intersection of the sun hand and the ecliptic to pass through the light grey zone is the twilight time. Dawn is given on the left (East), dusk on the right (West). As soon as the intersection point leaves the twilight zone, it becomes completely dark. The example shows the difference between December (when the duration of dawn and dusk are long) and June (when the duration of dawn and dusk are long).
