Sun questions for Amsterdam

How high does the sun get in Amsterdam?

At 52.4° N, the noon sun reaches 61.1° above the horizon at the June solstice but only 14.2° at the December solstice. It is never directly overhead this far from the equator.

How long is twilight in Amsterdam?

Civil twilight — from first light until sunrise, when you can still see outdoors without lights — lasts about 34 minutes around the equinoxes and 50 minutes at midsummer in Amsterdam. The farther from the equator, the shallower the sun's path and the longer twilight lasts.

When is the earliest sunrise and latest sunset in Amsterdam?

The earliest sunrise is at 05:18 around 16 June and the latest sunset at 22:07 around 20 June. They don't fall on the solstice itself because solar noon drifts by up to a quarter of an hour through the year (the equation of time).

How fast do the days get longer or shorter in Amsterdam?

Fastest around the equinoxes: on 18 March the day is 4m 06s longer than the day before. Around the solstices the change slows to a few seconds a day.

Does it get completely dark in Amsterdam in summer?

No — from about 19 May to 25 July (68 nights) the sun never sinks 18° below the horizon, so astronomical twilight lasts all night and the sky never gets fully dark.
