Longest and shortest day are the June and December solstice day lengths at each city's own coordinates. Sun vs. clock is how far mean solar noon falls from 12:00 standard time — negative means the Sun peaks before the clock says noon.

Sunrise and Sunset in Idaho

The 14 Idaho cities listed here span 5.2° of latitude, from Twin Falls in the south (42.6°N) to Post Falls in the north (47.7°N). On the June solstice that puts about 16h 0m of daylight over Post Falls against 15h 19m over Twin Falls — a 42m difference inside one state. In December the gap reverses, and the southern cities are the ones holding more light.

The median Idaho city swings 6h 31m between the solstices against a national median of 5h 16m, so seasons here move the clock 1h 14m more than they do in a typical American city.

Seasons bite hardest in Post Falls, where daylight swings 7h 36m between the solstices, and least in Twin Falls at 6h 15m. The table above lists both figures for every city, so you can see where any town falls between those two extremes.

Idaho spans more than one time zone (Mountain Time and Pacific Time), so two cities here can be on different clocks despite similar longitudes. Longitude decides how a city's clock lines up with its Sun: Caldwell sits furthest west inside its zone, which puts mean solar noon about 47 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.
