About the sun in SeaTac

In SeaTac, the longest day of 2026 is June 21, with 15h 58m of daylight, and the shortest is December 21, with 8h 27m: a difference of 7 hours 31 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on June 16 (5:12 AM) and the latest sunset on June 25 (9:10 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. SeaTac lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 66.0° above the horizon, on June 21.
