About the sun in Fairview Heights
In Fairview Heights, the longest day of 2026 is June 21, with 14h 52m of daylight, and the shortest is December 21, with 9h 28m: a difference of 5 hours 24 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on June 13 (5:35 AM) and the latest sunset on June 27 (8:28 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.
