Sunrise and Sunset Times in Maryland

Sunrise and Sunset in Maryland

The 56 Maryland cities listed here span 1.3° of latitude, from Salisbury in the south (38.4°N) to Hagerstown in the north (39.6°N). On the June solstice that puts about 14h 59m of daylight over Hagerstown against 14h 51m over Salisbury — a 8m difference inside one state. In December the gap reverses, and the southern cities are the ones holding more light.

The median Maryland city swings 5h 31m between the solstices, within a quarter-hour of the national median of 5h 16m — so Maryland experiences a fairly typical American year of daylight.

Seasons bite hardest in Hagerstown, where daylight swings 5h 37m between the solstices, and least in Salisbury at 5h 21m. The table above lists both figures for every city, so you can see where any town falls between those two extremes.

Maryland sits entirely in Eastern Time. Longitude decides how a city's clock lines up with its Sun: Hagerstown sits furthest west inside its zone, which puts mean solar noon about 11 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.
