Why sunset time shifts in Chula Vista

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

In Chula Vista, the longest day carries about 14h 18m of daylight and the shortest just 10h 0m — a swing of roughly 4h 18m 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 Chula Vista’s exact coordinates, in local time.
