Nautical twilight is when the horizon can still be seen at sea; after astronomical dusk the sky is fully dark. Calculated for Shanghai, China (31.22° N, 121.46° E, GeoNames' point for the city) in China Standard Time. Times assume a level horizon at sea level; hills, buildings and weather can change what you see.
