Nautical Twilight
Twilight is the time when the sky brightens as the sun is at or just below the
horizon (water horizon or visible horizon). There are actually three types of
twilight: nautical twilight, civil twilight, and astronomical twilight. Nautical
twilight is normally defined as occurring when the sun is from 6 to 12 degrees
below the horizon.
