Why sunset time shifts in Burlington

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

In Burlington, the longest day carries about 14h 37m of daylight and the shortest just 9h 42m — a swing of roughly 4h 55m 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.
