Sunrise and sunset times
« on: September 17, 2023, 09:39:45 AM »

Do you think that sunrise and/or sunset in your are are too early or late? For example, I think that in most of Canadian Arctic, they are so late. In Fort McPherson, NT, sun rises on or after 10:00 until February 18 and from October 15. In comparison, in Sodankylä, Finland, which is almost exactly same latitude, sun rises on or after 10:00 until only January 23 and from November 25.

What are you trying to do, change the way the Earth rotates?

We have to strike a balance between having more hours of daylight and warming the Earth too much.

Change time zones. But don't do anything to DST. For example, FortMcPherson should be in UTC -10 instead of current UTC -8.

This sounds suspiciously like a DST thread.

But it is a thread for sunrise and sunset times.

In much of the Canadian Arctic, there are no sunrises or sunsets at all for much of the year. Nothing you can do about that, short of changing the axis of the Earth's rotation.

Oh, that's completely unrelated.   :spin: :spin:

In the arctic or antarctic there's way too much sun in the summer, and way too little sun in the winter.  There's nothing adjusting the timezones can do about that.
