Twilight most commonly refers to the time of day when the sun is just below the horizon, creating a soft, dim light shortly after sunset or before sunrise—typically lasting 20-40 minutes depending on location and season.

In popular culture, it's best known as the vampire romance film series based on Stephenie Meyer's novels, with the first movie Twilight released on November 21, 2008.

Twilight Time Explained

Twilight divides into three phases based on solar depression:

  • Civil Twilight : Sun 0-6° below horizon; enough light for most outdoor activities without artificial lighting.
  • Nautical Twilight : Sun 6-12° below; horizon visible for navigation.
  • Astronomical Twilight : Sun 12-18° below; faintest phase before full night.

For your location (T1 timezone), on February 9, 2026, expect civil twilight around 5:45-6:30 PM local time post-sunset, varying by exact coordinates—check a site like timeanddate.com for precision.
