Sun questions for Brasília

How high does the sun get in Brasília?

Brasília is in the tropics (15.8° S), so the noon sun passes directly overhead — leaving almost no shadow — around 5 February and 6 November. It is lowest at the June solstice, reaching 50.7° above the horizon at solar noon.

How long is twilight in Brasília?

Civil twilight — from first light until sunrise, when you can still see outdoors without lights — lasts about 21 minutes around the equinoxes and 24 minutes at midsummer in Brasília. Close to the equator the sun climbs steeply, so dusk turns to night quickly.

When is the earliest sunrise and latest sunset in Brasília?

The earliest sunrise is at 05:31 around 18 November and the latest sunset at 18:51 around 15 January. 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 Brasília?

Very slowly. Near the equator day length changes by at most 54s from one day to the next.
