Why sunset time shifts in Dollar Bay

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

In Dollar Bay, the longest day carries about 15h 55m of daylight and the shortest just 8h 29m — a swing of roughly 7h 26m 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 Dollar Bay’s exact coordinates, in local time.
