Why sunset time shifts in Green Bay

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

In Green Bay, the longest day carries about 15h 33m of daylight and the shortest just 8h 49m — a swing of roughly 6h 44m 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 Green Bay’s exact coordinates, in local time.
