Denver’s Final Pre-7 P.M. Sunset Arrives Friday
Denver will see its last sunset occurring before 7 p.m. on Friday.
Denver, CO, September 21, 2026 —
Denver residents will experience the final sunset before 7 p.m. this Friday, marking a seasonal shift in daylight hours. As the Earth continues its tilt away from the sun, days grow shorter, and evenings arrive earlier. This particular sunset signifies a period where the sun will consistently set after 7 p.m. for the remainder of the year, until the clocks change again in the spring.
The exact timing of sunset is influenced by several astronomical factors, including the Earth’s axial tilt and its orbit around the sun, as well as the specific geographical location. For Denver, Colorado, situated at a high latitude and altitude, these changes in daylight are often more pronounced. The shift is a natural astronomical phenomenon that occurs annually, affecting daily routines and outdoor activities.
While the trend summary indicates this transition occurs on Friday, the specific date of this Friday was not provided. The phenomenon itself is tied to the precise astronomical moment of sunset, which varies slightly each day. This occurrence is not a singular event but rather a point on a continuum of changing daylight hours. Following Friday, the sun will set at or after 7 p.m. for Denver until daylight saving time concludes later in the year, pushing sunsets back to earlier times in the evening.
No additional details regarding specific meteorological conditions for Friday’s sunset or any community events planned around the transition were included in the available information. The precise time of Friday’s sunset in Denver was not specified.
