Why sunset time shifts in Fort Lauderdale

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

In Fort Lauderdale, the longest day carries about 13h 47m of daylight and the shortest just 10h 30m — a swing of roughly 3h 17m 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.
