Sunrise and sunset times in Jordan are determined by the moderate location in the northern hemisphere. Not as extreme as in the Nordic countries, but still noticeable. The days are longer in summer (June to September) than in winter (December to March). With up to about 14:20 hours, there are the longest days in June. The longest dark nights, on the other hand, are in winter. A December night in Amman lasts almost 14 hours and the days start about 2 hours later

During these days, the sun in Amman rises at 7:33. The early sunset at 17:39 makes the day currently a bit too short.Back to overview: Jordan

Sunrise and sunset in the most important cities of Jordan

The cities are ordered by their geographic position from east to west, so in an approximate direction of the sun's course. Since the orbit around the sun is elliptical, sunrise or sunset never happen on a whole longitude at the same time. All data given for December 25th., localtime in Jordan

Duration of the sunset

The distance from the equator and the path of the sun determines not only the time of sunrise and sunset. The farther a country is from the equator, the more oblique the sun's path is to the horizon, causing sunset to last for a different duration. Amman lies on the 32nd degree of northern latitude and is therefore quite far away from the equator. While a sunset near the equator lasts only about 20 minutes, in Jordan, this period averages 29 minutes. In June, it's about 31 minutes in Amman, while in December it's 28 minutes.

The sun always shines from the south

The capital Amman is located at 32 degrees north latitude and therefore also north of the Tropic. While the sun swings back and forth between the northern and southern tropics throughout the year, it shines on Amman from the south, but is never perpendicular to it. In December, the sun is so far away that even at midday it can only be seen 35 degrees above the horizon. (0 degrees is at the height of the horizon, 90 degrees would be a position directly above Amman.) It reaches its highest point at noon on June 21st. Then the sun shines down at an angle of 81.5 degrees.

Actual hours of sunshine

The period from sunrise to sunset is the astronomical length of the day. It is therefore independent of whether you can actually see the sun. In addition, significant deviations can be perceived depending on cloud cover or other visual obstructions. For the Amman region, we have shown the approximate sunshine duration in the graph here.

In June, the sun shines for around 11:00 hours a day. In contrast, the day is 14:17 hours long. This means that the visual obstruction is around 3:17 hours per day. In December, on the other hand, it is 4:31 of 10:07 hours.
