About the sun in Juneau
In Juneau, the longest day of 2026 is June 20, with 18h 17m of daylight, and the shortest is December 21, with 6h 22m: a difference of 11 hours 54 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on June 18 (3:51 AM) and the latest sunset on June 23 (10:08 PM). 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. Juneau lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 55.1° above the horizon, on June 20. Around midsummer, from April 27 to August 15, the sun never sinks 18° below the horizon, so the night sky never gets fully dark.
