About the sun in Hythe

In Hythe, the longest day of 2026 is 21 June, with 16h 31m of daylight, and the shortest is 21 December, with 7h 56m: a difference of 8 hours 35 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on 17 June (04:51) and the latest sunset on 25 June (21:23). 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. Hythe lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 62.6° above the horizon, on 21 June. Around midsummer, from 27 May to 17 July, the sun never sinks 18° below the horizon, so the night sky never gets fully dark.
