Yesterday, Ottawa had 9 hours and 5 minutes of daylight, up from 8 hours and 42 minutes on our "shortest" day, December 22.
The sun rose at 7:39 AM and set at 4:44 PM
One of the things I find interesting about our constantly changing hours of daylight is that the last time we had 9 hours and 5 minutes was on November 27, 2024. But at this time, sunrise was earlier - at 7:18 AM. And sunset was at 4:23 PM, though the total hours of daylight were the same.
I would really love to know why...
I probably should have studied geography or astronomy in university, instead of literature. The world around us is so fascinating!
