Twilight-A Time For Every
Person

Introduction to Twilight
What is Twilight?
Twilight is the time between day and night when the sun is below the horizon, and
the sky is illuminated by indirect sunlight.
It is divided into three phases: civil, nautical, and astronomical twilight.
Why Twilight Matters:
Twilight is not only a visually stunning phenomenon but also plays a role in various
cultural, ecological, and astronomical contexts.

The Phases of Twilight
Civil Twilight:
Occurs when the sun is between 0° and 6° below the horizon.
Enough natural light for outdoor activities without artificial lighting.
Nautical Twilight:

Occurs when the sun is between 6° and 12° below the horizon.
Sailors can take reliable readings of stars and the horizon at sea.
Astronomical Twilight:

Occurs when the sun is between 12° and 18° below the horizon.
The sky becomes dark enough for astronomers to observe celestial objects without interference from sunlight.
