I looked up some sunset and sunrise times today comparing Cambridge MA
to Boca Raton FL. I understand why the sunset is later in Boca (it's further West, sees the sun go down later), but that's only by 7 minutes. Why is the sunRISE so much later (more than an hour later) there than in Cambridge MA? If the length of day is the same, shouldn't Boca's sunrise by 7 minutes later than Cambridge's? Look at the 8/7/09 times and you'll see what I mean. Can the tilt of the earth at this time of year give MA quite that much more daylight than a point (globally speaking) not that much further South? From what I can see the time from sunrise to sunset for Cambridge is 14:12 and for Boca Raton, only (oddly enough) 13:14. Explanation? |
