About the sun in Homestead
In Homestead, the longest day of 2026 is June 21, with 13h 44m of daylight, and the shortest is December 21, with 10h 33m: a difference of 3 hours 11 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on November 1 (6:30 AM) and the latest sunset on July 2 (8:17 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. Homestead lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 88.0° above the horizon, on June 21.
