Understanding Upper Gilgil's latitude
| Latitude | 0.21° S |
|---|---|
| Distance to Equator | 24 km / 15 mi |
| Distance to polar circle | 7,378 km / 4,584 mi Antarctic Circle (66.56° S) |
Daylight over the year
Estimated daylight (sunrise-to-sunset) duration in Upper Gilgil along the year.
At latitude 0.21° S, 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 Upper Gilgil 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 Upper Gilgil's parallel (-0.21°), which covers roughly 55 kilometers (34 miles) north or south of its exact coordinate.
Frequently asked questions
What is the longitude of Upper Gilgil?
Upper Gilgil is located at longitude 36.2725° E. Among cities within ±0.5° of the same meridian, Damascus (Syria), at 36.2913° E in the Northern Hemisphere.
