Sun questions for Perth

How high does the sun get in Perth?

At 32.0° S, the noon sun reaches 81.5° above the horizon at the December solstice but only 34.6° at the June solstice. It is never directly overhead this far from the equator.

How long is twilight in Perth?

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 Perth. 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 Perth?

The earliest sunrise is at 05:04 around 1 December and the latest sunset at 19:27 around 2 January. 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 Perth?

Fastest around the equinoxes: on 16 March the day is 1m 59s shorter than the day before. Around the solstices the change slows to a few seconds a day.
