Hello All,

I know know it's to do with the equation of time, and it's shape is an
analemma.

But where can I find the sunrise and sunset times, so I can see when the
latest sunrise, and earliest sunset is, in the UK?

And every year I try to get my head around exactly *why* we get this
effect and every year I give up

It depends where you are. Current sunset here is 15:55
(http://tinyurl.com/dh97v) which is as early as it gets. By the 21st the
sun will set at 15:57, but will rise 8 minutes later than current, giving a
slightly shorter day.

You can have a play with http://www.canterburyweather.co.uk/sun/test.php
which shows various sunrise/sunset times on a map of the UK. If you ask
nicely I might be able to add a new location if you want.

I've also got a couple of derived pages on my website:

http://www.jstott.me.uk/gmapsgeotool...imesfinder.php allows you to
find sunrise/sunset time for anywhere in the world (it gets inaccurate
near the poles though where the sunrises before midnight or sets after
midnight, but that shouldn't affect the UK).

I also have a web service available if you want to write a computer
program to do stuff for you. http://geo.jstott.me.uk/index.htm

I couldn't access any other date than today

Plus the times for 10th Dec for Anglesey surely can't be right......

No? What happens when you change the date selector at the top of the
page and click "Go"?

Fixed that - errant minus sign on the longitude :-/

It's the difference between natural time (per sundial) and clock time.
That's the best definition I can come up with at short notice.
