Dawn and dusk are not instant. Today in Estonia, civil twilight begins 44 minutes before sunrise, so it is already light enough to walk outdoors at 06:51, and it fades about 44 minutes after sunset. At this latitude the Sun sinks at a shallower angle, so twilight lasts longer than in the tropics. Photographers often plan around the hour after sunrise and the hour before sunset, when the light is warm and soft, and drivers, cyclists and runners can use these times to know when to switch on lights.

Where these times come from
All times are calculated astronomically for Tallinn (59.44° N, 24.75° E) and shown in the local time zone (Europe/Tallinn, UTC+2). Sunrise and sunset refer to the moment the upper edge of the Sun touches the horizon, already counting atmospheric refraction. They refer to the reference city; other cities in Estonia differ by a few minutes for every degree of longitude (about 4 minutes per degree) and by their latitude. In countries that span several time zones, the local clock times can differ a lot. Values are accurate to within about a minute.
