2026 in daylight
The gold band is daylight, the orange edges are civil twilight (dawn and dusk), and the deep blue is night. The daylight band swells toward the June solstice and narrows in December. Hover or drag across it to read any day; the dot on the “today” line is the sun’s position right now.
The year in daylight
The turning points of the 2026 cycle. Notice the earliest sunset arrives well before the shortest day, and the latest sunrise lands the morning before the clocks fall back — the sun keeps its own calendar, a little out of step with ours.

Common questions
What time are sunrise and sunset in Zionsville today?
On Tuesday, June 30, the sun rises at 6:18 AM and sets at 9:19 PM in Zionsville, with dawn breaking around 5:47 AM and dusk fading around 9:50 PM. That makes for about 15h 01m of daylight.
When are the longest and shortest days of the year in Zionsville?
In 2026 the longest day is June 20, the summer solstice, with about 15h 03m of daylight (sun up from 6:14 AM to 9:18 PM). The shortest is December 21, the winter solstice, with about 9h 23m — a swing of more than five and a half hours.
Why does the earliest sunset come before the shortest day?
In 2026 the earliest sunset falls on December 7 (5:21 PM), about two weeks before the December 21 winter solstice. This is the “equation of time”: because Earth’s axis is tilted and its orbit is slightly elliptical, the sun’s true midday drifts a little from clock noon through the year, so the earliest sunset and the shortest day don’t land on the same date — the sun keeps its own calendar, a little out of step with the clock.
Does Zionsville observe daylight saving time?
Yes. Zionsville is on Eastern Time and observes daylight saving time, as does most of Indiana since the state adopted it statewide in 2006. Clocks spring forward on the second Sunday in March and fall back on the first Sunday in November, which is why the posted sunrise and sunset times jump by about an hour overnight on those two weekends.
How this is built
These times are calculated for the center of Zionsville (about 39.951° N, 86.262° W), at sea-level horizon, and shown in local Eastern Time with daylight saving applied. Sunrise and sunset are the moments the sun's upper edge meets the horizon; dawn and dusk mark civil twilight, when the sun sits 6° below it and there's enough light to see by. Across town the times vary by only a few seconds, and the figures are good to about a minute — close enough to plan a walk, not to time a telescope.
