when do you find that the sun rises earlier
Answers
Explanation:
"The earliest sunrise is recorded about a week prior to June 21st or Summer Solstice. June 21st is considered to be the longest day in the Northern Hemisphere and December 23rd the longest day in the Southern Hemisphere
Explanation:
For the Northern Hemisphere: June is a super month for an early morning walk. The dawn light is beautiful at this time of year. At mid-northern latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere, your earliest sunrises of the year happen around now. That’s despite the fact that the northern summer solstice – and year’s longest day for this hemisphere – are still about a week away.
For the Southern Hemisphere: If you relish the daylight, as many do, you’ll be glad to know your sunsets will soon be shifting later! The earliest sunsets of the year are taking place around now for those at mid-latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere. That’s even though the winter solstice – the south’s shortest day – isn’t for another week.
The exact date of earliest sunrise (and earliest sunset) varies with latitude. At 40 degrees north latitude – the latitude of, say, Philadelphia in Pennsylvania, the Mediterranean Sea and northern Japan – the earliest sunrise of the year will happen on June 14. For that same latitude, the latest sunset of the year will fall on or near June 27. Meanwhile, the longest day of the year – the day containing the greatest amount of daylight, overall – comes on the solstice on June 20.
So it is for other Northern Hemisphere latitudes. The dates of earliest sunrise and latest sunset don’t coincide exactly with the solstice. Appreciably south of Philadelphia’s latitude, the earliest sunrise has already come and gone (in late May or early June) and the latest sunset occurs at a later date (sometimes as late as July). In Hawaii, for instance, the earliest sunrise precedes the June solstice by about two weeks, and the latest sunset comes about two weeks after. Farther north, the earliest sunrise and latest sunset happen closer to the June solstice. Check it out at your latitude, using links on our almanac page.
The earliest sunrises come before the summer solstice because the day is more than 24 hours long at this time of the year. In the Southern Hemisphere, the earliest sunsets of the year come before the winter solstice for the same reason.
