Hawaii is located just below the tropic of cancer, between 19- and 22-degrees latitude. In addition to giving the Aloha State plenty of sunshine and consistent temperatures throughout the year, the location also gives Hawaii faster sunsets than most.
Twilight to sunset in Hawaii takes about 25 minutes at longest. More northern latitudes like Seattle take around 40 minutes. This is all the more reason to appreciate each and every glimmering, brief Hawaiian sunset like this one.
