Sun questions for Kuala Lumpur

How high does the sun get in Kuala Lumpur?

Kuala Lumpur is in the tropics (3.1° N), so the noon sun passes directly overhead — leaving almost no shadow — around 29 March and 15 September. It is lowest at the December solstice, reaching 63.4° above the horizon at solar noon.

How long is twilight in Kuala Lumpur?

Civil twilight — from first light until sunrise, when you can still see outdoors without lights — lasts about 21 minutes around the equinoxes and 23 minutes at midsummer in Kuala Lumpur. Close to the equator the sun climbs steeply, so dusk turns to night quickly.

When is the earliest sunrise and latest sunset in Kuala Lumpur?

The earliest sunrise is at 06:57 around 22 October and the latest sunset at 19:29 around 10 February. 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 Kuala Lumpur?

Very slowly. Near the equator day length changes by at most 10s from one day to the next.
