About the sun in Lakewood

In Lakewood, the longest day of 2026 is June 21, with 14h 59m of daylight, and the shortest is December 21, with 9h 21m: a difference of 5 hours 38 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on June 14 (5:32 AM) and the latest sunset on June 27 (8:32 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. Lakewood lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 73.7° above the horizon, on June 21.
