About the sun in Wilmington Island
In Wilmington Island, the longest day of 2026 is June 21, with 14h 15m of daylight, and the shortest is December 21, with 10h 03m: a difference of 4 hours 11 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on June 11 (6:17 AM) and the latest sunset on June 29 (8:34 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.
