The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Sunshine Coast the sun comes up earliest on 2 December at 04:47, while the latest sunset waits until 12 January at 18:46. 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 Sunshine Coast that civil twilight runs about 23 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.
