• Longest day: June 21, 14 h 36 min, from sunrise at 05:15 to sunset at 19:51.
• Shortest day: December 21, 9 h 43 min, from sunrise at 07:37 to sunset at 17:21.

• Sunrise and sunset mark the moment the Sun’s upper edge touches a level horizon, with the air’s usual bending of light allowed for. Hills, buildings and altitude move what you see by a few minutes.
• Civil, nautical and astronomical twilight end when the Sun is 6°, 12° and 18° below the horizon. Golden hour here is the photographers’ usual definition: the Sun less than 6° above it.
• Worked out when the page loads from NOAA’s solar equations, for 35.9° N, 7.1° E, and accurate to about a minute.
