| Distance to polar circle | 4,183 km / 2,599 mi Antarctic Circle (66.56° S) |
Daylight over the year
Estimated daylight (sunrise-to-sunset) duration in Excelsior along the year.
The longest daylight at latitude 28.94° S is about 14h 00m around the summer solstice in December, while the shortest is about 10h 18m 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 Excelsior 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 Excelsior's parallel (-28.94°), which covers roughly 55 kilometers (34 miles) north or south of its exact coordinate.
Frequently asked questions
What is the longitude of Excelsior?
Excelsior is located at longitude 27.0607° E. Among cities within ±0.5° of the same meridian, İzmir (Turkey), at 27.1384° E in the Northern Hemisphere.
