About the sun in Anthem

In Anthem, the longest day of 2026 is June 21, with 14h 25m of daylight, and the shortest is December 21, with 9h 54m: a difference of 4 hours 31 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on June 12 (5:17 AM) and the latest sunset on June 29 (7:43 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. Anthem lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 79.6° above the horizon, on June 21.
