Sun questions for Atlanta

How high does the sun get in Atlanta?

At 33.7° N, the noon sun reaches 79.7° above the horizon at the June solstice but only 32.8° at the December solstice. It is never directly overhead this far from the equator.

How long is twilight in Atlanta?

Civil twilight — from first light until sunrise, when you can still see outdoors without lights — lasts about 25 minutes around the equinoxes and 29 minutes at midsummer in Atlanta. 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 Atlanta?

The earliest sunrise is at 06:27 around 9 June and the latest sunset at 20:53 around 24 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).
