About the sun in Parker

In Parker, the longest day of 2026 is June 21, with 14h 58m of daylight, and the shortest is December 21, with 9h 23m: a difference of 5 hours 35 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on June 14 (5:31 AM) and the latest sunset on June 27 (8:30 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. Parker lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 73.9° above the horizon, on June 21.
