About the sun in Henderson

In Henderson, the longest day of 2026 is June 21, with 14h 47m of daylight, and the shortest is December 21, with 9h 32m: a difference of 5 hours 15 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on June 13 (5:28 AM) and the latest sunset on June 28 (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. Henderson lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 75.6° above the horizon, on June 21.
