| Distance to polar circle | 2,974 km / 1,848 mi Antarctic Circle (66.56° S) |
Daylight over the year
Estimated daylight (sunrise-to-sunset) duration in Valdivia along the year.
The longest daylight at latitude 39.81° S is about 15h 00m around the summer solstice in December, while the shortest is about 9h 21m around the winter solstice in June.
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 Valdivia 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 Valdivia's parallel (-39.81°), which covers roughly 55 kilometers (34 miles) north or south of its exact coordinate.
Frequently asked questions
What is the longitude of Valdivia?
Valdivia is located at longitude 73.2459° W. Among cities within ±0.5° of the same meridian, Montréal (Canada), at 73.5878° W in the Northern Hemisphere.
How close are these cities to Valdivia’s latitude?
Each listed city has a stored latitude between -40.31° and -39.31°, the ±0.5° matching band around Valdivia.
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.
