The official edge

Night does not end at sunrise.

It ends earlier, when the centre of the Sun reaches six degrees below the horizon. This is civil dawn: enough scattered light for terrestrial objects to become distinct, while the brightest planets may still hold their ground.

“The sky is already day before the Sun arrives.”Dr. Elian Voss, Bellweather Twilight Ledger
