Sun questions for Salvador

How high does the sun get in Salvador?

Salvador is in the tropics (13.0° S), so the noon sun passes directly overhead — leaving almost no shadow — around 14 February and 28 October. It is lowest at the June solstice, reaching 53.6° above the horizon at solar noon.

How long is twilight in Salvador?

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

When is the earliest sunrise and latest sunset in Salvador?

The earliest sunrise is at 04:58 around 13 November and the latest sunset at 18:09 around 19 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).

Very slowly. Near the equator day length changes by at most 44s from one day to the next.
