Sun questions for Tehran

How high does the sun get in Tehran?

At 35.7° N, the noon sun reaches 77.7° above the horizon at the June solstice but only 30.9° at the December solstice. It is never directly overhead this far from the equator.

How long is twilight in Tehran?

Civil twilight — from first light until sunrise, when you can still see outdoors without lights — lasts about 25 minutes around the equinoxes and 30 minutes at midsummer in Tehran. 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 Tehran?

The earliest sunrise is at 04:49 around 7 June and the latest sunset at 19:25 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 Tehran?

Fastest around the equinoxes: on 19 March the day is 2m 16s longer than the day before. Around the solstices the change slows to a few seconds a day.
