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 Tennessee

The 28 Tennessee cities listed here span 1.5° of latitude, from Collierville in the south (35.0°N) to Clarksville in the north (36.6°N). On the June solstice that puts about 14h 40m of daylight over Clarksville against 14h 31m over Collierville — a 9m difference inside one state. In December the gap reverses, and the southern cities are the ones holding more light.

The median Tennessee city swings 4h 53m between the solstices against a national median of 5h 16m, so Tennessee has a 23m gentler year of daylight than a typical American city.

Seasons bite hardest in Clarksville, where daylight swings 5h 0m between the solstices, and least in Collierville at 4h 43m. The table above lists both figures for every city, so you can see where any town falls between those two extremes.

Tennessee spans more than one time zone (Central Time and Eastern 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: Chattanooga sits furthest west inside its zone, which puts mean solar noon about 41 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.
