Answer 2

Go to the National Maritime Museum's page www.nmm.ac.uk and click on the Astronomy Information service. You can follow the links and find everything from rising and setting times of sun and moon, moon phases, twilight times etc.

A less detailed but simpler site is "Stig's Sky Calendar" www.skycalendar.com Most of the locations are in Scandinavia, but there is a choice of British ones, or you can enter your own latitude and longitude. The graph shows the times for sunset/rise and the three "twilights" - civil, marine and astronomical.

Answer 3

Now we've passed the summer solstice, the nights are drawing in at around 1-1 1/2 minutes earlier each day. Your local newspaper can give you the exact timing, and you should be able to work it out from there.

Answer 4

If you ant to know what time it gets dark then ask here. Actual sunset times can't be exactly predicted so you only ever going to get a best guess, try the met office for a closer look

Answer 5

It all depends upon where, for example in east anglia the sun sets about 40min earlier than Landsend.
This equates to 15deg per hour. That is if you wish to be that precise.

Answer 6

Use an astronomy program - set the date and time to see when dusk falls.

Answer 7

The Met Office: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/index.html

I haven't gone through the site to find the exact page it's on, but I'm sure I've seen it on there somewhere, and if not, if you email them they will be able to help you out.

Answer 8

wait for the day and wait till it gets dark!!! then use a cleaver invention called a window!

Answer 9

ask a rabbi, or phone the Jewish chronicle they have to know when sunset is once a week...............and it depends on which bit of Britain, it is light much later in Scotland than in south of England

Answer 10

Anytime in your closet.
