Sun questions for Oslo

How high does the sun get in Oslo?

At 59.9° N, the noon sun reaches 53.5° above the horizon at the June solstice but only 6.6° at the December solstice. It is never directly overhead this far from the equator.

How long is twilight in Oslo?

Civil twilight — from first light until sunrise, when you can still see outdoors without lights — lasts about 41 minutes around the equinoxes and 104 minutes at midsummer in Oslo. 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 Oslo?

The earliest sunrise is at 03:54 around 17 June and the latest sunset at 22:45 around 21 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 Oslo?

Fastest around the equinoxes: on 16 March the day is 5m 28s longer than the day before. Around the solstices the change slows to a few seconds a day.

Does it get completely dark in Oslo in summer?

No — from about 22 April to 21 August (122 nights) the sun never sinks 18° below the horizon, so astronomical twilight lasts all night and the sky never gets fully dark.
