Dawn is the time that marks the beginning of the
twilight before
sunrise. It is recognized by the presence of weak sunlight, while the sun itself is still below the
horizon. Dawn should not be confused with sunrise, which is the moment when the leading edge of the sun itself appears above the horizon.
The duration of the twilight period between dawn and sunrise varies greatly depending on the observer's latitude, from a few minutes in
equatorial regions to many hours in
polar regions. Dawn may easily be determined by observing a thread. When the color of a thread can be determined, changing from black to the thread's distinctive color, the 'crack of dawn' has occurred. This same measure of ambient light can be used to determine, conversely, the instant of
dusk.
