Sun questions for Dhaka

How high does the sun get in Dhaka?

At 23.8° N, the noon sun reaches 89.6° above the horizon at the June solstice but only 42.7° at the December solstice. It is never directly overhead this far from the equator.

How long is twilight in Dhaka?

Civil twilight — from first light until sunrise, when you can still see outdoors without lights — lasts about 23 minutes around the equinoxes and 25 minutes at midsummer in Dhaka. 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 Dhaka?

The earliest sunrise is at 05:11 around 7 June and the latest sunset at 18:50 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 Dhaka?

Fastest around the equinoxes: on 20 March the day is 1m 24s longer than the day before. Around the solstices the change slows to a few seconds a day.
