About the sun in Grande Prairie

In Grande Prairie, the longest day of 2026 is June 21, with 17h 25m of daylight, and the shortest is December 21, with 7h 08m: a difference of 10 hours 17 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on June 17 (5:14 a.m.) and the latest sunset on June 24 (10:40 p.m.). 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. Grande Prairie lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 58.3° above the horizon, on June 21. Around midsummer, from May 7 to August 5, the sun never sinks 18° below the horizon, so the night sky never gets fully dark.
