| Distance to Equator | 6,929 km / 4,306 mi |
| Distance to polar circle | 472 km / 293 mi Arctic Circle (66.56° N) |
Daylight over the year
Estimated daylight (sunrise-to-sunset) duration in Varkaus along the year.
The longest daylight at latitude 62.32° N is about 19h 55m around the summer solstice in June, while the shortest is about 5h 01m 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 Varkaus 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 Varkaus's parallel (62.32°), which covers roughly 55 kilometers (34 miles) north or south of its exact coordinate.
Frequently asked questions
What is the longitude of Varkaus?
Varkaus is located at longitude 27.8730° E. Among cities within ±0.5° of the same meridian, Johannesburg (South Africa), at 28.0436° E in the Southern Hemisphere.
How close are these cities to Varkaus’s latitude?
Each listed city has a stored latitude between 61.82° and 62.82°, the ±0.5° matching band around Varkaus.
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.
