Sunset in Arden Hills on August 8, 2026
The sun sets in Arden Hills at 8:29 PM on August 8, 2026, going down toward 294° WNW after a 14h 24m day that began with sunrise at 6:06 AM. Solar noon — the sun's highest point — falls at 1:18 PM, and the evening golden hour leading into sunset runs 7:48 PM – 8:52 PM.
Where on the horizon the sun goes down is always moving. Right now the point where it sets is sliding back toward the south, because Arden Hills (45.1°N) is heading through summer with the days are drawing in. Over weeks that drift is easy to see against a fixed foreground like a ridgeline or building, which is why sunset compositions rarely repeat exactly.
Sunset isn't the end of the shot. Civil twilight keeps usable light in the sky until dusk at 9:02 PM — roughly 33 minutes after the sun disappears, and the deep-blue 8:52 PM – 9:02 PM blue hour sits in between. Use the planner to line up the exact sunset bearing for any evening.
