Is there still light during civil twilight?
Quick Answer: Yes, there is still light during civil twilight. It’s the time after sunset or before sunrise when the sun is just below the horizon, and enough natural light remains to see clearly without artificial lighting.
Civil twilight happens when the sun is between 0° and 6° below the horizon. During this period, the sky is bright enough for most outdoor activities. Streetlights usually don’t turn on yet because there's still natural light available.
This light fades as the sun sinks lower, moving into nautical and then astronomical twilight, where it gets darker. So, civil twilight is that friendly, soft glow before night fully takes over or before the sun fully rises.
