About the sun in Whitby
In Whitby, the longest day of 2026 is June 21, with 15h 28m of daylight, and the shortest is December 21, with 8h 54m: a difference of 6 hours 34 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on June 15 (5:33 a.m.) and the latest sunset on June 26 (9:02 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. Whitby lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 69.6° above the horizon, on June 21.
