About the sun in Wisconsin Rapids
In Wisconsin Rapids, the longest day of 2026 is June 21, with 15h 32m of daylight, and the shortest is December 21, with 8h 50m: a difference of 6 hours 42 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on June 15 (5:14 AM) and the latest sunset on June 26 (8:48 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.
