The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Cochabamba the sun comes up earliest on 25 November at 05:41, while the latest sunset waits until 20 January at 19:05. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.

The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Cochabamba that civil twilight runs about 22 minutes at the equinox.

Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
