About the sun in West Fargo

In West Fargo, the longest day of 2026 is June 21, with 15h 53m of daylight, and the shortest is December 21, with 8h 31m: a difference of 7 hours 21 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on June 16 (5:32 AM) and the latest sunset on June 25 (9:26 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.
