Sun questions for Jerusalem

How high does the sun get in Jerusalem?

At 31.8° N, the noon sun reaches 81.7° above the horizon at the June solstice but only 34.8° at the December solstice. It is never directly overhead this far from the equator.

How long is twilight in Jerusalem?

Civil twilight — from first light until sunrise, when you can still see outdoors without lights — lasts about 24 minutes around the equinoxes and 28 minutes at midsummer in Jerusalem. 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 Jerusalem?

The earliest sunrise is at 05:34 around 6 June and the latest sunset at 19:49 around 22 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 Jerusalem?

Fastest around the equinoxes: on 19 March the day is 1m 58s longer than the day before. Around the solstices the change slows to a few seconds a day.
