Distance to polar circle	641 km / 399 mi Arctic Circle (66.56° N)

Daylight over the year

Estimated daylight (sunrise-to-sunset) duration in Bethel along the year.

The longest daylight at latitude 60.79° N is about 19h 11m around the summer solstice in June, while the shortest is about 5h 36m around the winter solstice in December.

About latitude comparisons

When comparing cities at the same latitude, such as Bethel 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 Bethel's parallel (60.79°), which covers roughly 55 kilometers (34 miles) north or south of its exact coordinate.

Frequently asked questions

What is the longitude of Bethel?

Bethel is located at longitude 161.7558° W.

How close are these cities to Bethel’s latitude?

Each listed city has a stored latitude between 60.29° and 61.29°, the ±0.5° matching band around Bethel.

Does this map show exact city boundaries?
