When does it start getting light and dark in Cambodia?

They are calculated for Phnom Penh, the reference city. Other cities in Cambodia differ by about 4 minutes per degree of longitude, plus the effect of latitude and, in countries with several time zones, of the time zone itself.

Why does day length vary so little in Cambodia?

Dawn and dusk are not instant. Today in Cambodia, civil twilight begins 22 minutes before sunrise, so it is already light enough to walk outdoors at 05:30, and it fades about 22 minutes after sunset. Close to the tropics twilight is short, because the Sun sinks almost vertically. Photographers often plan around the hour after sunrise and the hour before sunset, when the light is warm and soft, and drivers, cyclists and runners can use these times to know when to switch on lights.

Where these times come from

All times are calculated astronomically for Phnom Penh (11.54° N, 104.89° E) and shown in the local time zone (Asia/Phnom_Penh, UTC+7). Sunrise and sunset refer to the moment the upper edge of the Sun touches the horizon, already counting atmospheric refraction. They refer to the reference city; other cities in Cambodia differ by a few minutes for every degree of longitude (about 4 minutes per degree) and by their latitude. In countries that span several time zones, the local clock times can differ a lot. Values are accurate to within about a minute.
