Understanding Lerwick's latitude

Latitude	60.15° N
Distance to Equator	6,689 km / 4,156 mi
Distance to polar circle	712 km / 443 mi Arctic Circle (66.56° N)

Daylight over the year

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

The longest daylight at latitude 60.15° N is about 18h 56m around the summer solstice in June, while the shortest is about 5h 49m 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 Lerwick 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 Lerwick's parallel (60.15°), which covers roughly 55 kilometers (34 miles) north or south of its exact coordinate.

Frequently asked questions

What is the longitude of Lerwick?

Lerwick is located at longitude 1.1443° W. Among cities within ±0.5° of the same meridian, Kumasi (Ghana), at 1.6244° W in the Northern Hemisphere.

How close are these cities to Lerwick’s latitude?

Each listed city has a stored latitude between 59.65° and 60.65°, the ±0.5° matching band around Lerwick.

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.
