Sunset & Sunrise Times in U.S. Virgin Islands — Today and Next 10 Days
Sunset and sunrise across U.S. Virgin Islands today
There is no single sunset time for all of U.S. Virgin Islands. The table calculates each listed city independently from its coordinates, IANA time zone and local calendar date. That is why two cities can share the same civil clock yet still see sunrise or sunset at noticeably different times.
| City | Sunrise | Sunset | Solar noon | Day length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Charlotte Amalie | 6:05 am | 6:28 pm | 12:16 pm | 12 hours 23 minutes |
For evening planning, sunset is only the first boundary: useful ambient light continues into civil twilight and then fades through nautical and astronomical twilight. Each city page shows those evening thresholds separately, which is more informative than treating sunset as instant darkness.
These are calculated horizon times, not a promise about when the sun becomes visible from a particular building or valley. Elevation, a blocked horizon, atmospheric conditions and rounding can shift an observed time.
Questions people ask
Why does U.S. Virgin Islands not have one national sunrise or sunset time?
Sun position depends on coordinates, not merely the country name or time zone. Cities east or west of each other reach the same solar position at different moments, and latitude changes day length through the seasons.
Are these sunset times official?
They are astronomical calculations from the listed coordinates and time-zone rules. Local almanacs, observatories or religious authorities may publish adjusted times for their own use.
Why can another calculator differ by a minute or two?
Different tools can use slightly different assumptions for atmospheric refraction, elevation, the apparent solar radius and rounding. A blocked local horizon can create a larger observed difference.
