Sun questions for Vancouver

How high does the sun get in Vancouver?

At 49.3° N, the noon sun reaches 64.2° above the horizon at the June solstice but only 17.3° at the December solstice. It is never directly overhead this far from the equator.

How long is twilight in Vancouver?

Civil twilight — from first light until sunrise, when you can still see outdoors without lights — lasts about 32 minutes around the equinoxes and 43 minutes at midsummer in Vancouver. 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 Vancouver?

The earliest sunrise is at 05:07 around 13 June and the latest sunset at 21:23 around 21 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 Vancouver?

Fastest around the equinoxes: on 18 March the day is 3m 41s longer than the day before. Around the solstices the change slows to a few seconds a day.

Does it get completely dark in Vancouver in summer?

No — from about 7 June to 5 July (29 nights) the sun never sinks 18° below the horizon, so astronomical twilight lasts all night and the sky never gets fully dark.
