Answer 1

Sunset in Vancouver today was at 2003hrs (8:03PM).  At the link below, they give the times for sunrise and sunset below the weather forecast.

Answer 2

Today the official sunset was 8.28 pm By mid-June it stays light until about 10:30 and the sun rises at about 4:30 so the summer days are reeeeeeally long!

Answer 3

Sunset and sunrise is roughly the same time in Vancouver as in LA, a few minutes difference in spring and fall due to the movement of the earth relative to the sun, but not much different.

Answer 4

I live an hour east of Vancouver and it is 8:22pm, the sky is darkening and it will not be long before it is dark.  When I wake up at 5 am the birds are already welcoming the new day, and the sky is lightening somewhat.  In the middle of summer (summer solstice) the skies stay light quite late.

Answer 5

It depends on the time of year. In the summer its 9 P.M or later. (May, June, July)  and it rises around 4:45 a.m during the longest days.  In the winter its 5.00 P,M.  and the sun doesn't rise till 7:30.  I lived most of my life on the gulf of mexico its fairly noticable to me. Even in the peak of the summer sun doesn't set much after 8 on the gulf. or rise before 5:30 here. So vancouvers days were pretty shocking.

So long days in the summer, long nights in the winter.
