Sunrise and Sunset in Pennsylvania

The 25 Pennsylvania cities listed here span 2.3° of latitude, from Chester in the south (39.8°N) to Erie in the north (42.1°N). On the June solstice that puts about 15h 15m of daylight over Erie against 15h 0m over Chester — a 15m difference inside one state. In December the gap reverses, and the southern cities are the ones holding more light.

The median Pennsylvania city swings 5h 47m between the solstices against a national median of 5h 16m, so seasons here move the clock 30m more than they do in a typical American city.

Seasons bite hardest in Erie, where daylight swings 6h 9m between the solstices, and least in Chester at 5h 39m. The table above lists both figures for every city, so you can see where any town falls between those two extremes.

Pennsylvania sits entirely in Eastern Time. Longitude decides how a city's clock lines up with its Sun: Erie sits furthest west inside its zone, which puts mean solar noon about 20 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.
