Sunrise and Sunset in Arkansas

The 19 Arkansas cities listed here span 3.0° of latitude, from Texarkana in the south (33.4°N) to Bella Vista in the north (36.5°N). On the June solstice that puts about 14h 39m of daylight over Bella Vista against 14h 22m over Texarkana — a 17m difference inside one state. In December the gap reverses, and the southern cities are the ones holding more light.

The median Arkansas city swings 4h 44m between the solstices against a national median of 5h 16m, so Arkansas has a 33m gentler year of daylight than a typical American city.

Seasons bite hardest in Bella Vista, where daylight swings 4h 59m between the solstices, and least in Texarkana at 4h 26m. The table above lists both figures for every city, so you can see where any town falls between those two extremes.

Arkansas sits entirely in Central Time. Longitude decides how a city's clock lines up with its Sun: Fort Smith sits furthest west inside its zone, which puts mean solar noon about 17 minutes after clock noon and gives it the state's latest-running evenings for its longitude.

Each city page carries that city's full profile: today's sunrise and sunset on a live tracker, a twelve-month table of times, the dates of the year's earliest and latest sunsets, the Sun's midday height by season, a golden-hour calendar, clear-sky solar-energy figures, and where the city ranks against the rest of the country.
