Bummed It's Getting Dark Earlier? Here's When the Sun Sets and Rises This Month

Sunset will be close to 5 p.m. by the end of November.

While the end of Daylight Saving Times means an extra hour of sleep, it also means the sun comes up an hour earlier — and goes down a little earlier as well.

Last week, before Daylight Saving Time ended, the sun was coming up around 8 a.m. This week, the sun should be coming up around 7:15 a.m., according to www.sunrisesunset.com.

The biggest difference, though, may be the time when it starts getting dark. While the sun was going down around 6:30 p.m. last week, this week it's been getting dark around 5:20 p.m. instead.
