Sun questions for Busan

How high does the sun get in Busan?

At 35.2° N, the noon sun reaches 78.3° above the horizon at the June solstice but only 31.4° at the December solstice. It is never directly overhead this far from the equator.

How long is twilight in Busan?

Civil twilight — from first light until sunrise, when you can still see outdoors without lights — lasts about 25 minutes around the equinoxes and 30 minutes at midsummer in Busan. 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 Busan?

The earliest sunrise is at 05:10 around 6 June and the latest sunset at 19:43 around 24 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 Busan?

Fastest around the equinoxes: on 19 March the day is 2m 14s longer than the day before. Around the solstices the change slows to a few seconds a day.
