Answer

Dawn is the period before sunrise when the sky begins to lighten but the sun is not yet visible.
There is no single fixed time for dawn—it depends on your location, date, and season. In most places, dawn typically begins 30 to 90 minutes before sunrise.

Helpful tip: The closer you are to the equator, the shorter dawn tends to be. At higher latitudes, dawn can last much longer, especially in summer.
