The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 14h 54m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 9h 27m. The swing between them is 5h 27m. This is the latitude band where the difference between summer and winter evenings is most obvious.

The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Colorado Springs the sun comes up earliest on 15 June at 05:33, while the latest sunset waits until 29 June at 20:28. 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.
