Why sunset time shifts in Miami

Sunset drifts through the year with Earth’s ~23.4° axial tilt — see the full daylight explainer.

In Miami, the longest day carries about 13h 45m of daylight and the shortest just 10h 32m — a swing of roughly 3h 13m between the June and December solstices. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider that gap; the pace also isn’t steady, moving fastest near the equinoxes and barely at all near the solstices. Every figure here is computed from the sun’s position for Miami’s exact coordinates, in local time.
