Is dusk the same as sunset?
“Sunrise” occurs the moment the disc of the sun peeks above the eastern horizon due to the Earth's rotation. “Sunset” is the opposite. It occurs the moment the disc of sun completely disappears below the western horizon. Technically, “dusk” is the period of twilight between complete darkness and sunrise (or sunset).Jun 7, 2016
