About the sun in Anderson

In Anderson, the longest day of 2026 is June 21, with 14h 28m of daylight, and the shortest is December 21, with 9h 51m: a difference of 4 hours 37 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on June 12 (6:17 AM) and the latest sunset on June 29 (8:47 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. Anderson lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 78.9° above the horizon, on June 21.
