Sun questions for Porto

How high does the sun get in Porto?

At 41.2° N, the noon sun reaches 72.3° above the horizon at the June solstice but only 25.4° at the December solstice. It is never directly overhead this far from the equator.

How long is twilight in Porto?

Civil twilight — from first light until sunrise, when you can still see outdoors without lights — lasts about 27 minutes around the equinoxes and 34 minutes at midsummer in Porto. 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 Porto?

The earliest sunrise is at 06:02 around 10 June and the latest sunset at 21:12 around 22 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).
