When are the days long, when are they short?

The times for sunrise and sunset are determined by the high latitude on the northern hemisphere. This means that the days are long in summer, while they are short in winter. The longest days are therefore in June, when the time between sunrise and sunset can already be 17 hours.

When does it get light?

The sunrise shifts antiparallel to the sunset, so when the sun sets late in the summer, it also rises early.

What is the equinox?

The equinox or equinoxes, also known as the day-and-night balance, refers to the two days of the year when day and night are exactly equal in length.

What is dawn?

Dawn is the time when it is already a little bright, but the sun has not yet risen. This happens because the sun is just behind the horizon and can already illuminate the sky. In combination with dawn, there can also be a dawn, which denotes a reddish color of the sky before or during sunrise.

What is dusk?

Dusk is the counterpart to dawn and occurs from the point at which the last visible part of the sun has completely disappeared behind or under the horizon. Due to dusk, it is not immediately dark after sunset, but still somewhat bright. Similar to dawn, dusk also depends on the seasons in duration.
