Understanding Raahe's latitude
| Latitude | 64.68° N |
|---|---|
| Distance to Equator | 7,192 km / 4,469 mi |
| Distance to polar circle | 209 km / 130 mi Arctic Circle (66.56° N) |
Daylight over the year
Estimated daylight (sunrise-to-sunset) duration in Raahe along the year.
The longest daylight at latitude 64.68° N is about 21h 40m around the summer solstice in June, while the shortest is about 3h 47m 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 Raahe 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 Raahe's parallel (64.68°), which covers roughly 55 kilometers (34 miles) north or south of its exact coordinate.
Frequently asked questions
What is the longitude of Raahe?
Raahe is located at longitude 24.4833° E. Among cities within ±0.5° of the same meridian, Riga (Latvia), at 24.1059° E in the Northern Hemisphere, and Kabinda (Democratic Republic of the Congo), at 24.4818° E in the Southern Hemisphere.
How close are these cities to Raahe’s latitude?
Each listed city has a stored latitude between 64.18° and 65.18°, the ±0.5° matching band around Raahe.
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.
