Sun questions for Baghdad

How high does the sun get in Baghdad?

At 33.3° N, the noon sun reaches 80.1° above the horizon at the June solstice but only 33.2° at the December solstice. It is never directly overhead this far from the equator.

How long is twilight in Baghdad?

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 Baghdad. 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 Baghdad?

The earliest sunrise is at 04:53 around 11 June and the latest sunset at 19:17 around 26 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 Baghdad?

Fastest around the equinoxes: on 19 March the day is 2m 05s longer than the day before. Around the solstices the change slows to a few seconds a day.
