| Distance to polar circle | 2,745 km / 1,706 mi Antarctic Circle (66.56° S) |
Daylight over the year
Estimated daylight (sunrise-to-sunset) duration in Ancud along the year.
The longest daylight at latitude 41.87° S is about 15h 14m around the summer solstice in December, while the shortest is about 9h 08m around the winter solstice in June.
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 Ancud 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 Ancud's parallel (-41.87°), which covers roughly 55 kilometers (34 miles) north or south of its exact coordinate.
Frequently asked questions
What is the longitude of Ancud?
Ancud is located at longitude 73.8162° W. Among cities within ±0.5° of the same meridian, New York City (United States), at 74.0060° W in the Northern Hemisphere.
How close are these cities to Ancud’s latitude?
Each listed city has a stored latitude between -42.37° and -41.37°, the ±0.5° matching band around Ancud.
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.
