The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Corpus Christi the sun comes up earliest on 11 June at 06:33, while the latest sunset waits until 3 July at 20:29. 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 Corpus Christi that civil twilight runs about 23 minutes at the equinox.
