About the sun in Nacogdoches
In Nacogdoches, the longest day of 2026 is June 21, with 14h 13m of daylight, and the shortest is December 21, with 10h 05m: a difference of 4 hours 7 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on June 11 (6:13 AM) and the latest sunset on June 30 (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. Nacogdoches lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 81.8° above the horizon, on June 21.
