Why sunset time shifts in Madras

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

In Madras, the longest day carries about 15h 34m of daylight and the shortest just 8h 48m — a swing of roughly 6h 46m 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 Madras’s exact coordinates, in local time.
