  • The shortest day, the earliest sunset, the latest sunrise – and how quickly the light comes back, week by week.
  • Shortest day: December 21 (10h 16m)
  • Earliest sunset: December 2, 16:57
  • Latest sunrise: January 11, 06:52
  • The earliest sunset comes about ten days before the shortest day, the latest sunrise about ten days after it. The reason is the equation of time: around the solstice the sun reaches its highest point a little later every day, so the whole day shifts towards the evening. That is why the evenings are already getting lighter while the mornings are still getting darker.
