About the sun in Stapleford

In Stapleford, the longest day of 2026 is 21 June, with 16h 55m of daylight, and the shortest is 21 December, with 7h 35m: a difference of 9 hours 20 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on 17 June (04:39) and the latest sunset on 24 June (21:35). 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. Stapleford lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 60.5° above the horizon, on 21 June. Around midsummer, from 17 May to 27 July, the sun never sinks 18° below the horizon, so the night sky never gets fully dark.
