About the sun in Mernda
In Mernda, the longest day of 2026 is 22 December, with 14h 46m of daylight, and the shortest is 21 June, with 9h 34m: a difference of 5 hours 12 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on 8 December (5:51 AM) and the latest sunset on 5 January (8:45 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. Mernda lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 75.8° above the horizon, on 22 December.
