Q. What was the earliest sunset in 2020?
Bottom line: The 2020 solstice comes on December 21 by Universal Time, but the earliest sunsets at mid-northern latitudes – say, 40 degrees north latitude – happen on and around December 7 or 8. Latitudes closer to the equator had their earliest sunsets in late November, or earlier in December.
Q. Does it get darker in the mornings after the shortest day?
It’s because the solar day is determined by Earth’s orbital velocity – and that varies, because our orbit around the Sun isn’t a perfect circle. So, for a couple of weeks after the ‘shortest day’, it actually gets darker later in the morning.
Q. Why do mornings still get darker after the winter solstice?
“So we use 24 hours, the average over the whole year, for all timekeeping purposes. “So, as the solar days in December are on average 24 hours and 30 seconds, while our clocks and watches are still assuming that each day is exactly 24 hours, this causes the day to shift about 30 seconds later each day.”
Q. Is it darker in the morning when you spring forward?
“Daylight saving time results in more darkness in the morning and more light in the evening disrupting the body’s natural rhythm.” Not every state follows daylight saving time.
Q. Why daylight savings is bad for your health?
Daylight saving time goes against your body’s circadian rhythm that helps regulate your sleep-wake cycle, according to a growing body of research. Moving the clock an hour forward can pose serious health risks, such as stroke and heart attack, especially in the week following the time change.
