Daylight Hours Explorer

Curious about how many daylight hours you are going to enjoy today?  Simply punch in your latitude and the day and SHAZAM!

Daylight Hours Explorer can displays the yearly average. Dallas (32.82-degrees North) receives an average of 11 hours 6 minutes of daylight over the course of a year. Today, September 18th, Dallas will receive 13 hours and and 6 minutes because the Earth's axis is tilted ~24.4-degrees and currently pointing toward the Sun, making the days slightly longer right now.  If you were standing directly above Earth's northern axis (90-degrees North), you currently be getting full daylight around-the-clock, and it would stay that way until September 23rd.  Then, suddenly you'd be getting no daylight during the day -- 6 months of night!

You can check on your own latitude's stats by finding your location in Google Maps and reading the the URL:

For instance:

The longitude (West-East) is the first long whole number, and the latitude (North-South) is the second long whole number.

Longitude: 88.4328534
