It is also true that the period between sunrise and sunset will continue to shorten until then. By the site’s calculations, sunset will be at 4:45 p.m. Sunday, and 4:46 p.m. Monday. (Other sites provide times that differ by a minute or so, but the movement is typically toward later sunsets, even before the solstice.) This trend toward later sunsets while daylight diminishes comes at a cost. It isn’t clear if both sunrise and sunset will be visible Sunday.
