Why sunset time shifts in Round Rock

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

In Round Rock, the longest day carries about 14h 7m of daylight and the shortest just 10h 10m — a swing of roughly 3h 57m 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 Round Rock’s exact coordinates, in local time.
