Why the Earliest Sunset of the Year is NOT on the Solstice

Now that's a ton of science! I love the information that explains the suns position is actually relative to your location even with a State never mind the country or the world, I have never thought about that before; if you live in South East Kentucky, the sun rise/set time may be different than a person living in North West Kentucky. I'm a Canadian from Ontario and where I am, South Central Ontario, during the mid summer the sun sets around 2130 - 2200 but in Northern Ontario, Manitouwadge (about 5 hours North East of the Minnesota border & 11 hours from my house) the sun doesn't seem to actually fully set.
walking in a wooded park near a field couple weeks ago; got dark about 4 pm; (and chilly); another field had more light;
there was a big temperature difference in the field near the woods @ sunset (Conn.) v. a bigger field which got more sunrays; my conclusion is: where the field meets the woods is the warmest spot; because the sun reflects the light onto the field creating solar; the woods protect from wind. nice we will be getting more sunlight in the after; the sunrays are so pretty in the woods + fields; : )
Nice we will be getting more sunlight in the afternoon; the sun-rays are so pretty in the woods + fields;
The Czechs say: "Lucie, noci upije a dne nepřidá."
Lucie (on 12/13) drinks the night and does not add the day.
I created a chart for our region (N50 E15) a few years ago.
But the shape of the sunrise and sunset curves varies a lot depending on latitude.
Since URL links are not allowed here, you must find this chart yourself. Its name is "Lucie noci upije" and is in PDF format.
