Sun questions for Santo Domingo

How high does the sun get in Santo Domingo?

Santo Domingo is in the tropics (18.5° N), so the noon sun passes directly overhead — leaving almost no shadow — around 13 May and 30 July. It is lowest at the December solstice, reaching 48.1° above the horizon at solar noon.

How long is twilight in Santo Domingo?

Civil twilight — from first light until sunrise, when you can still see outdoors without lights — lasts about 22 minutes around the equinoxes and 24 minutes at midsummer in Santo Domingo. Close to the equator the sun climbs steeply, so dusk turns to night quickly.

When is the earliest sunrise and latest sunset in Santo Domingo?

The earliest sunrise is at 06:03 around 2 June and the latest sunset at 19:21 around 28 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 Santo Domingo?

Fastest around the equinoxes: on 20 March the day is 1m 03s longer than the day before. Around the solstices the change slows to a few seconds a day.
