Sun questions for Yekaterinburg

How high does the sun get in Yekaterinburg?

At 56.8° N, the noon sun reaches 56.6° above the horizon at the June solstice but only 9.7° at the December solstice. It is never directly overhead this far from the equator.

How long is twilight in Yekaterinburg?

Civil twilight — from first light until sunrise, when you can still see outdoors without lights — lasts about 38 minutes around the equinoxes and 67 minutes at midsummer in Yekaterinburg. 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 Yekaterinburg?

The earliest sunrise is at 04:05 around 14 June and the latest sunset at 21:56 around 22 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 Yekaterinburg?

Fastest around the equinoxes: on 18 March the day is 4m 50s longer than the day before. Around the solstices the change slows to a few seconds a day.

Does it get completely dark in Yekaterinburg in summer?

No — from about 2 May to 11 August (102 nights) the sun never sinks 18° below the horizon, so astronomical twilight lasts all night and the sky never gets fully dark.
