Sunrise and Sunset in Kansas

The 16 Kansas cities listed here span 1.8° of latitude, from Derby in the south (37.6°N) to Leavenworth in the north (39.3°N). On the June solstice that puts about 14h 57m of daylight over Leavenworth against 14h 46m over Derby — a 11m difference inside one state. In December the gap reverses, and the southern cities are the ones holding more light.

The median Kansas city swings 5h 28m between the solstices, within a quarter-hour of the national median of 5h 16m — so Kansas experiences a fairly typical American year of daylight.

Seasons bite hardest in Leavenworth, where daylight swings 5h 33m between the solstices, and least in Derby at 5h 12m. The table above lists both figures for every city, so you can see where any town falls between those two extremes.

Kansas sits entirely in Central Time. Longitude decides how a city's clock lines up with its Sun: Garden City sits furthest west inside its zone, which puts mean solar noon about 43 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.
