Sunrise and Sunset Times in New Jersey

Sunrise and Sunset in New Jersey

The 38 New Jersey cities listed here span 1.6° of latitude, from Atlantic City in the south (39.4°N) to Ridgewood in the north (41.0°N). On the June solstice that puts about 15h 8m of daylight over Ridgewood against 14h 57m over Atlantic City — a 11m difference inside one state. In December the gap reverses, and the southern cities are the ones holding more light.

The median New Jersey city swings 5h 51m between the solstices against a national median of 5h 16m, so seasons here move the clock 34m more than they do in a typical American city.

Seasons bite hardest in Ridgewood, where daylight swings 5h 54m between the solstices, and least in Atlantic City at 5h 34m. The table above lists both figures for every city, so you can see where any town falls between those two extremes.

New Jersey sits entirely in Eastern Time. Longitude decides how a city's clock lines up with its Sun: Camden sits furthest west inside its zone, which puts mean solar noon about 0 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.
