Sun questions for Brisbane

How high does the sun get in Brisbane?

At 27.5° S, the noon sun reaches 86.0° above the horizon at the December solstice but only 39.1° at the June solstice. It is never directly overhead this far from the equator.

How long is twilight in Brisbane?

Civil twilight — from first light until sunrise, when you can still see outdoors without lights — lasts about 23 minutes around the equinoxes and 27 minutes at midsummer in Brisbane. 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 Brisbane?

The earliest sunrise is at 04:46 around 25 November and the latest sunset at 18:49 around 11 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 Brisbane?

Fastest around the equinoxes: on 16 March the day is 1m 39s shorter than the day before. Around the solstices the change slows to a few seconds a day.
