Understanding Fort William's latitude

Latitude	56.82° N
Distance to Equator	6,318 km / 3,926 mi
Distance to polar circle	1,083 km / 673 mi Arctic Circle (66.56° N)

Daylight over the year

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

The longest daylight at latitude 56.82° N is about 17h 50m around the summer solstice in June, while the shortest is about 6h 45m 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 Fort William 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 Fort William's parallel (56.82°), which covers roughly 55 kilometers (34 miles) north or south of its exact coordinate.

Frequently asked questions
