DENVER — Now that the Summer Solstice has passed, the Centennial State will continue to lose precious minutes of sunlight each day until the Winter Solstice in December.

This year, Denver sunsets will remain in the 6 p.m. hour until Tuesday, Oct. 29, when the sun will set at 6 p.m.
The autumnal equinox will be at 6:44 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 22. After the autumnal equinox, the sun continues rising later in the morning with nightfall arriving sooner.
In December, sunset times in Denver range between 4:35 p.m. and 4:45 p.m.
