How to read it
Moscow's noon Sun climbs only about 11° in December and nearly 58° in June, so its days run from barely seven hours to over seventeen. Its deep winter snow reflects what light there is, and the long twilight of its June evenings runs almost into dawn.
Moscow's longest day, around June 21, has 17 hours 34 minutes of daylight, and its shortest, around December 22, has 7 hours.
Sunset in Moscow comes earliest around December 12, at about 15:56, and latest around June 25, at about 21:18. That earliest sunset comes about 10 days before Moscow's shortest day, because the Sun's noon drifts against the clock through the year. Moscow keeps the same clock all year (Europe/Moscow), so its sunset drifts with no jump.
Moscow's evening golden hour, the Sun from 6° up to 4° below the horizon, lasts about 70 minutes around the equinoxes; at midsummer about 100 minutes.
