About the sun in Port Charlotte
In Port Charlotte, the longest day of 2026 is June 21, with 13h 50m of daylight, and the shortest is December 21, with 10h 27m: a difference of 3 hours 24 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on June 9 (6:34 AM) and the latest sunset on July 1 (8:27 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.
