About the sun in Randwick
In Randwick, the longest day of 2026 is 22 December, with 14h 25m of daylight, and the shortest is 21 June, with 9h 54m: a difference of 4 hours 31 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on 3 October (5:30 AM) and the latest sunset on 7 January (8:10 PM). These dates do not fall on the solstice because Earth's orbit is elliptical and its axis is tilted, so solar noon drifts through the year. Randwick lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 79.5° above the horizon, on 22 December.
