Dawn and dusk are not instant. Today in Espírito Santo, civil twilight begins 23 minutes before sunrise, so it is already light enough to walk outdoors at 04:38, and it fades about 23 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 Vitória (20.32° S, 40.34° W) and shown in the local time zone (America/Sao_Paulo, UTC-3). Sunrise and sunset refer to the moment the upper edge of the Sun touches the horizon, already counting atmospheric refraction. They refer to the state capital; elsewhere in Espírito Santo the times differ. Each degree of longitude to the east or west moves solar time by about 4 minutes, so inland towns can see the Sun rise noticeably earlier or later than the capital, and a place at a different latitude has a slightly different day length. Values are accurate to within about a minute.
