Why sunset time shifts in Craig

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

In Craig, the longest day carries about 15h 54m of daylight and the shortest just 8h 30m — a swing of roughly 7h 25m 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 Craig’s exact coordinates, in local time.
