Why sunset time shifts in Brownsville

In Brownsville, the longest day carries about 13h 46m of daylight and the shortest just 10h 31m — a swing of roughly 3h 15m 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.
