Sun questions for Phnom Penh

How high does the sun get in Phnom Penh?

Phnom Penh is in the tropics (11.6° N), so the noon sun passes directly overhead — leaving almost no shadow — around 21 April and 23 August. It is lowest at the December solstice, reaching 55.0° above the horizon at solar noon.

How long is twilight in Phnom Penh?

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 Phnom Penh. Close to the equator the sun climbs steeply, so dusk turns to night quickly.

When is the earliest sunrise and latest sunset in Phnom Penh?

The earliest sunrise is at 05:36 around 27 May and the latest sunset at 18:29 around 2 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).

How fast do the days get longer or shorter in Phnom Penh?

Very slowly. Near the equator day length changes by at most 39s from one day to the next.
