Did You Know?
Goiânia was planned in 1933 to replace the old state capital and has one of the highest ratios of tree cover per resident of any city in the world — by some counts around 90 square metres of green space per person.
The clock: Goiânia keeps UTC−3 on the central plateau, about two hours by road from Brasília, which was planned along similar lines a generation later.
Goiânia lies at 49.3°W. Its time zone, UTC−3, is built around the 45°W meridian. The 4.3° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 17 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:17 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC−3 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 December, with 13h 7m of daylight. The shortest is 22 June, with 11h 8m. The swing between them is 2h. Inside the tropics the day length stays within a narrow band all year.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Goiânia the sun comes up earliest on 24 November at 05:35, while the latest sunset waits until 21 January at 18:57. 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 Goiânia 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.
