The Longest Day: Solstice in Seattle

Complete Sun and Moon Data for One Day

In December, it's hard to imagine that there are days in June that last until 10 PM. Yet, here we are on the Summer Solstice and the sun's not going down for a while yet.

Using the link above, you can find out how long the days are in any city in the US. I did a little looking and didn't find any mainland cities that have longer days today than Seattle- though I didn't spend too much time on it.

The data from the US Naval Observatory introduced me to a new term "Civil Twilight". The end of Seattle civil twilight tonight is 9:52 PM.

Here is the data for Seattle:

Begin civil twilight 4:31 a.m. Sunrise 5:11 a.m. Sun transit 1:11 p.m. Sunset 9:11 p.m.
End civil twilight 9:52 p.m.

Hope everyone is having a nice Solstice- wherever you are.
