About the sun in Karkala
In Karkala, the longest day of 2026 is 21 June, with 12h 54m of daylight, and the shortest is 22 December, with 11h 21m: a difference of 1 hour 33 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on 1 June (6:02 AM) and the latest sunset on 10 July (7:01 PM). These dates do not fall on the solstice because Earth's orbit is elliptical and its axis is tilted, so solar noon drifts through the year. Karkala lies between the tropics, so the sun is directly overhead at solar noon twice a year: on 25 April and 18 August.
