Sun questions for Bern

How high does the sun get in Bern?

At 46.9° N, the noon sun reaches 66.5° above the horizon at the June solstice but only 19.6° at the December solstice. It is never directly overhead this far from the equator.

How long is twilight in Bern?

Civil twilight — from first light until sunrise, when you can still see outdoors without lights — lasts about 30 minutes around the equinoxes and 40 minutes at midsummer in Bern. 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 Bern?

The earliest sunrise is at 05:36 around 10 June and the latest sunset at 21:30 around 22 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 Bern?

Fastest around the equinoxes: on 19 March the day is 3m 23s longer than the day before. Around the solstices the change slows to a few seconds a day.
