And in most parts of the world, it is more likely to be overcast during winter or late fall so the golden hour may be nonexistent or shorter.
Here's why I say "sort of." For instance, if I'm in Southern California in June and we have a typical "June Gloom" with overcast skies then my golden hour is nonexistent. Okay, those comments said-no, you don't get a longer or shorter "golden hour" in winter-sort of. Particulate matter (smoke from fires, auto pollution, volcanic ash) will add color or change the degree of "gold" you see.
That means that if you go to 20 sunrises and 20 sunsets, you're more likely to get great color in the golden hour in the sunrises (because the air hasn't been warmed on the part of the earth just seeing the sunrise). Also, I've always taken it to mean 30 minutes from sunrise in the morning and then about 30 minutes before the sun hits the horizon for sunset.Ī variety of things can affect the "Golden Hour." For instance, in the morning the air is colder (it hasn't spent 8-14 hours being heated by the sun). So the "Golden Hour" is actually two times during the day. It describes a period where the angle of the sun to the atmosphere results in light rays that tend to make things look "golden." And this happens after sunrise and before sunset. And it's not just one time of day either. The "Golden Hour" isn't actually an hour. To answer the question, first we need to cover a couple of points. So it seems that in winter, you get slightly more "golden hour" time. At 17:25, it s 22.1 degrees above the horizon. At 18:25 one hour before sunset, the angle of the sun is +10.8 degrees above the horizon. Spring: On April 5, 2023, Sun sets at 19:25. At 15:10, it's 18.3 degrees above the horizon. At 16:10 one hour before sunset, the angle of the sun is +9.5 degrees above the horizon. At 18:16, it s 22.1 degrees above the horizon. At 19:16 one hour before sunset, the angle of the sun is +9.9 degrees above the horizon. I looked at a couple of dates where I live in central New Jersey. So while it might not be golden, you could get better light generally during the winter more often than in summer. The sun is lower in the sky all day during the winter compared to during the summer.
