  • When does it get dark earliest in Grande Prairie? It gets dark earliest around January 1, at 17:22, and latest around June 20, at 23:38.
  • Why does it get fully dark later in the north? The closer to the polar circle, the flatter the sun sinks below the horizon, so twilight lasts longer. Around the summer solstice the sun no longer gets 18° below the horizon north of about 48.5° – then it does not get fully dark at all.
