Understanding Kampala's latitude

Latitude	0.32° N
Distance to Equator	35 km / 22 mi
Distance to polar circle	7,366 km / 4,577 mi Arctic Circle (66.56° N)

Daylight over the year

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

At latitude 0.32° N, daylight stays close to 12 hours throughout the year. The longest estimated day is 12h 08m and the shortest is 12h 06m. Near the Equator, the annual variation is small and the usual summer/winter contrast does not apply in the same way.

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 Kampala 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 Kampala's parallel (0.32°), which covers roughly 55 kilometers (34 miles) north or south of its exact coordinate.

Frequently asked questions

What is the longitude of Kampala?

Kampala is located at longitude 32.5822° E. Among cities within ±0.5° of the same meridian, Ankara (Turkey), at 32.8543° E in the Northern Hemisphere, and Maputo (Mozambique), at 32.5832° E in the Southern Hemisphere.

How close are these cities to Kampala’s latitude?

Each listed city has a stored latitude between -0.18° and 0.82°, the ±0.5° matching band around Kampala.

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.
