FINDING MINUTES UNTIL SUNSET
To accurately find how much daylight is left while the sun is setting, simply raise your hand in front of you. Line your pinky up with the horizon and point your thumb into the sky. This creates your fingers to space evenly. Every finger is 15 minutes (if the sun is at your ring finger then there is 15 minutes left of daylight).
