Why sunset time shifts in Eagle River
Sunset drifts through the year with Earth’s ~23.4° axial tilt — see the full daylight explainer.
In Eagle River, the longest day carries about 15h 45m of daylight and the shortest just 8h 39m — a swing of roughly 7h 6m 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 Eagle River’s exact coordinates, in local time.
