Why sunset time shifts in Westby

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

In Westby, the longest day carries about 16h 11m of daylight and the shortest just 8h 14m — a swing of roughly 7h 56m 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 Westby’s exact coordinates, in local time.
