What time is it in Roseville right now?

The time in Roseville, California is 1:35 am, 01:35 on a 24 hour clock, on Thursday November 5, 2026. The reading above ticks from your own device against the America/Los_Angeles rules, so it stays right through a clock change rather than drifting an hour out twice a year.

Roseville sits at 38.75 degrees north and 121.29 degrees west, at a middle latitude and 4,309 km from the equator. Its clock is set to a zone whose nominal meridian is 120.0 degrees west, and the city itself is 1.3 degrees west of that line. Those 1.3 degrees are worth 5 minutes 9 seconds of sun time, which is most of why solar noon here lands at 11:49 am rather than on the stroke of twelve.

Where Roseville is on the map

The marker sits at the coordinates this whole page is computed from, so the sun times, the distances and the solar noon above all belong to this exact point rather than to the wider metropolitan area.

Time difference between Roseville and major cities

Every row below is computed at this instant, so daylight saving on either side is already in it. A positive figure means that city's clock reads later than Roseville.

Best time to call Roseville

Treating a working day as 9am to 6pm on both sides, this is the window the two cities genuinely share. Some of these pairs have no shared working hour at all, which is worth knowing before a meeting is proposed.

Cities on America/Los_Angeles time

113 of our cities keep America/Los_Angeles, so every one of them reads 1:35 am at this moment and changes its clocks on the same night as Roseville. Nearest first:

Moon phase over Roseville tonight

The moon is a waning crescent tonight, 25.7 days into its cycle and about 15% lit. The next full moon falls on November 24, 2026 at 6:53 am Los Angeles time, and the next new moon on November 8, 2026 at 11:01 pm. Both are the same instant everywhere on Earth, printed here on the Roseville clock, which is why the calendar date can differ from the one a reader further east or west sees.

When the clocks change in Roseville

The next change is on Sunday, March 14, 2027, 129 days from now, when the clocks in Roseville go forward 1 hour at 1:59 am and the offset moves from UTC-8 to UTC-7.

Two things follow from that. Any standing call with Roseville shifts by an hour on that date unless the other side moves the same weekend, and every offset printed on this page is the offset for today rather than a fixed property of the city.

How far Roseville is from other cities

Great-circle distance, computed from the coordinates rather than road mileage. The nearest city we cover to Roseville is Sacramento, California at 26 km, and the furthest is Saint-Paul, Reunion at 18,015 km, which is 90% of the way to being exactly opposite.

The antipode of Roseville

Dig straight through the centre of the Earth from Roseville, California and you come out at 38.75 degrees south, 58.71 degrees east. That point is in the Indian Ocean. The nearest city in our catalogue to it is Saint-Paul, Reunion, 2,000 km away from the antipode itself, where the clock currently reads 1:35 pm on Thursday.

The antipode is worked out by flipping the latitude across the equator and swinging the longitude a half turn: 38.75 degrees north becomes 38.75 degrees south, and 121.29 degrees west becomes 58.71 degrees east. Two thirds of the planet is ocean and the land is unevenly spread, so most antipodes are open water: Roseville is no exception. The local time at the antipode runs close to UTC+4, roughly twelve hours from Roseville, because a half turn of longitude is a half turn of the day.

Sunrise and sunset in Roseville

Today the sun rises in Roseville at 6:37 am and sets at 5:00 pm, giving 10 hours 24 minutes of daylight. The dedicated page for this city carries the month by month table, the longest and shortest days of 2026, the golden and blue hour bands at both ends of the day, and all three twilight stages: sunrise and sunset times in Roseville.

Sun and moon in Roseville today

The sun is up in Roseville for 10 hours 24 minutes today, from 6:37 am to 5:00 pm. The moon rises in Roseville at 3:01 am and sets at 3:01 pm. The next phase is the new moon on November 8, 2026. It is 12% lit at the moment, a waning crescent, thinning by about 6.9 percentage points a day.

Twilight is graded by how far the sun has dropped below the horizon. Civil twilight ends six degrees down, which is roughly the point at which you need a light to read outside. Nautical twilight ends at twelve degrees, when the horizon at sea stops being usable for a sextant sight. Astronomical twilight ends at eighteen degrees, which is full darkness for an observer.

Golden hour is the stretch with the sun between six degrees above the horizon and four below it, and blue hour runs from there down to six degrees below. Neither is literally an hour: each is as long as the sun takes to cross those few degrees, which is minutes near the equator and can be most of the evening at high latitude.

Moonrise and moonset are computed to the moment the moon's upper edge touches a flat horizon, allowing for refraction, for the size of the disc and for the moon's parallax, which together put the centre of the moon at 0.125 degrees above the horizon at the instant it rises. That is a different horizon from the one sunrise uses, and it is why a moonrise time cannot be worked out with a sunrise formula.

Prayer times in Roseville

Seven days from November 5, 2026, computed for Roseville, CA at 38.75 degrees north, 121.29 degrees west, on the clock of America/Los_Angeles. The method is Muslim World League (Muslim World League, Mecca), which puts Fajr at 18.0 degrees below the horizon and Isha at 17.0 degrees. Asr uses the Standard shadow ratio of 1, which is the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali position.

Dhuhr is solar noon at Roseville, CA, the instant the Sun crosses the local meridian, so it moves with longitude inside the time zone and with the equation of time through the year rather than sitting at a fixed clock reading. Sunrise and Maghrib are the standard refracted horizon, the same 0.833 degrees every almanac uses. Every figure above is computed from the Sun's position for this exact coordinate; none of it is copied from a table.

Different methods disagree, and that is expected rather than an error. Fajr under ISNA at 15 degrees comes later than Fajr under Egyptian General Authority of Survey at 19.5 degrees, by twenty minutes or more depending on latitude and season. Follow whichever your local mosque follows.

Qibla direction from Roseville

From Roseville, CA the qibla is 19.8 degrees on a true compass, which is north-northeast, or 19.8 degrees east of due north. The Kaaba is 13,041 km away, 8,103 miles, measured over the surface of the Earth.

That figure is the initial bearing of the great circle from Roseville, CA to 21.4225 degrees north, 39.8262 degrees east, which is the Kaaba inside Masjid al-Haram. That reads as a surprise on a flat map, where Mecca sits well to the southeast. A flat map is not the Earth. The shortest path from Roseville to Mecca is a great circle that runs northeast over the Atlantic and Europe, and the qibla is the bearing of that path where you stand.

The bearing is measured from true north, not magnetic north. A magnetic compass points at the magnetic pole, and the difference between the two can be anything from nothing to more than twenty degrees depending where you are, so check your compass reading against magnetic declination for Roseville, CA before you use it. A phone compass set to true north, or the shadow of a vertical stick at local solar noon, avoids the problem entirely.
