Sun questions for Manila

How high does the sun get in Manila?

Manila is in the tropics (14.6° N), so the noon sun passes directly overhead — leaving almost no shadow — around 30 April and 14 August. It is lowest at the December solstice, reaching 52.0° above the horizon at solar noon.

How long is twilight in Manila?

Civil twilight — from first light until sunrise, when you can still see outdoors without lights — lasts about 21 minutes around the equinoxes and 24 minutes at midsummer in Manila. Close to the equator the sun climbs steeply, so dusk turns to night quickly.

When is the earliest sunrise and latest sunset in Manila?

The earliest sunrise is at 05:27 around 25 May and the latest sunset at 18:30 around 29 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 Manila?

Very slowly. Near the equator day length changes by at most 49s from one day to the next.
