Sun questions for Panama City

How high does the sun get in Panama City?

Panama City is in the tropics (9.0° N), so the noon sun passes directly overhead — leaving almost no shadow — around 13 April and 30 August. It is lowest at the December solstice, reaching 57.6° above the horizon at solar noon.

How long is twilight in Panama City?

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 Panama City. Close to the equator the sun climbs steeply, so dusk turns to night quickly.

When is the earliest sunrise and latest sunset in Panama City?

The earliest sunrise is at 05:58 around 25 May and the latest sunset at 18:43 around 11 July. 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).

Very slowly. Near the equator day length changes by at most 30s from one day to the next.
