About the sun in Santee

In Santee, the longest day of 2026 is June 21, with 14h 19m of daylight, and the shortest is December 21, with 9h 59m: a difference of 4 hours 20 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on June 11 (5:39 AM) and the latest sunset on June 29 (8:00 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. Santee lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 80.6° above the horizon, on June 21.
