In Denmark we actually have a several centuries old legal definition
of dusk and dawn, promulgated by none other than Astronomer Ole Römer:
Civil twilight: Sun less than 6 degrees under the horizon
Nautical twilight: Sun less than 12 degrees under the horizon
Astronomical twilight: Sun less than 18 degrees under the horizon
