Understanding Anchorage's latitude
| Latitude | 61.22° N |
|---|---|
| Distance to Equator | 6,807 km / 4,230 mi |
| Distance to polar circle | 594 km / 369 mi Arctic Circle (66.56° N) |
Daylight over the year
Estimated daylight (sunrise-to-sunset) duration in Anchorage along the year.
The longest daylight at latitude 61.22° N is about 19h 22m around the summer solstice in June, while the shortest is about 5h 27m around the winter solstice in December.
These are approximate astronomical estimates, using solar-declination equations documented by NOAA and a standard sunrise/sunset horizon of −0.833°. Twilight is not included. Terrain, altitude and actual atmospheric conditions can change observed daylight, particularly near the poles. Distances are approximate north–south distances along a meridian on a mean-radius Earth; the nearest polar circle is taken at 66.56°.

About latitude comparisons
When comparing cities at the same latitude, such as Anchorage and its global counterparts, it is important to remember that while they share identical daylight hours and similar solar angles throughout the year, their climates may differ drastically. Factors including elevation, proximity to oceans, and dominant wind patterns shape the local environment just as much as solar positioning.
The results shown here are cities located within ±0.5 degrees of Anchorage's parallel (61.22°), which covers roughly 55 kilometers (34 miles) north or south of its exact coordinate.
Frequently asked questions
What is the longitude of Anchorage?
Anchorage is located at longitude 149.9003° W. Among cities within ±0.5° of the same meridian, Faaa (French Polynesia), at 149.6035° W in the Southern Hemisphere.
How close are these cities to Anchorage’s latitude?
Each listed city has a stored latitude between 60.72° and 61.72°, the ±0.5° matching band around Anchorage.
Does this map show exact city boundaries?
No. Map markers and latitude values use city reference coordinates. They help compare locations on a parallel, but do not represent municipal boundaries.
Do these cities share the same climate?
Not necessarily. Latitude is only one influence on climate; altitude, coastlines, ocean currents and local terrain also matter.
