Sun questions for Prague

How high does the sun get in Prague?

At 50.1° N, the noon sun reaches 63.4° above the horizon at the June solstice but only 16.5° at the December solstice. It is never directly overhead this far from the equator.

How long is twilight in Prague?

Civil twilight — from first light until sunrise, when you can still see outdoors without lights — lasts about 32 minutes around the equinoxes and 45 minutes at midsummer in Prague. 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 Prague?

The earliest sunrise is at 04:53 around 12 June and the latest sunset at 21:17 around 23 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 Prague?

Fastest around the equinoxes: on 18 March the day is 3m 47s longer than the day before. Around the solstices the change slows to a few seconds a day.

Does it get completely dark in Prague in summer?

No — from about 1 June to 12 July (42 nights) the sun never sinks 18° below the horizon, so astronomical twilight lasts all night and the sky never gets fully dark.
