About the sun in Dartmouth
In Dartmouth, the longest day of 2026 is June 21, with 15h 34m of daylight, and the shortest is December 21, with 8h 48m: a difference of 6 hours 46 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on June 15 (5:28 a.m.) and the latest sunset on June 26 (9:04 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. Dartmouth lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 68.8° above the horizon, on June 21.
