Sun questions for Guangzhou

How high does the sun get in Guangzhou?

Guangzhou is in the tropics (23.1° N), so the noon sun passes directly overhead — leaving almost no shadow — around 1 July. It is lowest at the December solstice, reaching 43.4° above the horizon at solar noon.

How long is twilight in Guangzhou?

Civil twilight — from first light until sunrise, when you can still see outdoors without lights — lasts about 22 minutes around the equinoxes and 25 minutes at midsummer in Guangzhou. Close to the equator the sun climbs steeply, so dusk turns to night quickly.

When is the earliest sunrise and latest sunset in Guangzhou?

The earliest sunrise is at 05:41 around 6 June and the latest sunset at 19:17 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 Guangzhou?

Fastest around the equinoxes: on 20 March the day is 1m 21s longer than the day before. Around the solstices the change slows to a few seconds a day.
