Times For Sunrise And Sunset In Liberia

Times for sunrise and sunset in LiberiaSunrise today: 6:55 hSunset today: 18:56 h(Times for Monrovia)

Sunrise and sunset in Liberia do not differ significantly throughout the year. The reason for this is the proximity to the equator. Thus, the sun swings north in the middle of the year and south at the turn of the year, without moving too far away. In countries like Canada or Norway, however, the difference is much more extreme.

With up to approximately 12:30 hours the longest days happen to be in June. In December a night in Monrovia lasts almost 13 hours.

During these days, the sun in Monrovia rises at 6:55. The Sunset can currently be watched at about 18:56 in the early evening.Back to overview: Liberia

Sunrise and sunset in the most important cities of Liberia

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 February 27th., localtime in Liberia

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. Monrovia lies on the 6th degree of northern latitude and thus very close to the equator. While a sunset in the northern USA or central Europe can take almost an hour, in Liberia, it lasts only an average of 24 minutes. Liberia is so close to the equator that there is no noticeable difference even between June and December.

The sun between the tropics

The capital Monrovia is located at 6 degrees north latitude and therefore also between the tropics. The sun swings back and forth between them over the course of the year. At the solstice on June 21, it is perpendicular above the northern tropic, and on December 21 above the southern tropic. If a country like Liberia lies between these tropics, the sun crosses its latitude twice a year and then shines vertically from above. For Monrovia, this is on April 6th and September 7th. In between, the sun shines from the north, otherwise from the south. In Voinjama, around 260 km away, it is April 11th and September 1st.

Unlike in countries that are far away from the equator, the angle of the sun is quite large here. The sun is much higher in the sky at midday and therefore shines with a high intensity. It has the smallest angle, i.e. the smallest distance from the horizon, at the winter solstice on December 22nd. Then, even at midday, it is only 60.3 degrees above the southern horizon. For comparison: in New York, the sun only reaches an angle of 73 degrees at the height of summer.
