Sun questions for Barcelona

How high does the sun get in Barcelona?

At 41.4° N, the noon sun reaches 72.1° above the horizon at the June solstice but only 25.2° at the December solstice. It is never directly overhead this far from the equator.

How long is twilight in Barcelona?

Civil twilight — from first light until sunrise, when you can still see outdoors without lights — lasts about 28 minutes around the equinoxes and 34 minutes at midsummer in Barcelona. 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 Barcelona?

The earliest sunrise is at 06:18 around 11 June and the latest sunset at 21:30 around 25 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 Barcelona?

Fastest around the equinoxes: on 19 March the day is 2m 47s longer than the day before. Around the solstices the change slows to a few seconds a day.
