Do you know what time of day the sun rises in your city? Depending on where we are, many people might start trying to "guess" the exact time the sun appears in the morning. This could represent 5:00 onwards, which will depend primarily on the geographical area of each region.
Now, if to this question we add an additional one and where, reference is made to the hours of the day when the sun shows, this data for sure that many people will not get to know or elucidate easily. That is the objective of an online tool that has the name Suncalc, which offers interesting work characteristics to anyone who is interested in learning more about the behavior of the sun in different regions of the planet.
Sun hours in different regions of the planet
There are many other advantages that we could mention at this moment about the effective use of Suncalc, since not only will we have the ability to know the time when the sun rises or sets, since there are many other situations with which we surely come to find at a certain moment (of studies) and that perhaps, we never had a playful way of understanding it. First of all we suggest you go to the official website of «Suncalc» and that you start browsing each of its options, which are very easy to handle.
At the top we have placed a small screenshot of the interface that «Suncalc» offers us, where by default you will be able to admire a world map with a small icon located in a specific country. On this icon that in reality comes to be the one to place Google (as Geo-location) a large number of scattered elements are developed and among which you will be able to notice, a few colored lines. We could say that this is the first step in our analysis and learning about the behavior of the sun's hours, although what is really interesting is located in the upper part.
Right there and in the manner of a chronological bar the hours of the day are distributed; a few shades of colors will also be present there, which are linked to each hour. For example, you may admire that much of the day and in said bar there is an orange coloration, which is only trying to indicate the presence of the sun in the selected region within the world map. The areas of blue or light blue color instead refer to the hours in which the sun is absent, something that could well suggest to us primarily at dawn.
In the upper right part of this world map you will find a small box with these perfectly well identified colors, which are nothing more than the description of the nomenclature so that we can better understand the behavior of the sun at different times of the day ( even when it's night).
In which countries are the hours of the sun more or less extensive?
Well, according to what we mentioned above, at the top you can admire a horizontal bar distributed throughout the hours of the day. You just have to start measure the dimension of the orange bar, which will practically offer you the time the sun has remained in a specific city or region.
You can locate the Google icon on the map in any other specific region or city, it may be a good idea to try to find out what the behavior of the hours of the sun in polar regions. Depending on your selection, you may notice that the hours of the day are too short, something we might notice in Greenland, where the sun is only present for two hours a day.
You could also try to find out which is the region in which the sun remains the longest, being able to surprise us knowing that there are places where practically the sun shines until certain hours at night. In conclusion, this online tool called Suncalc can be used in a creative way to learn with the little ones, what are the different sun hours in different regions of the planet, something that can even be very useful for those who are planning to go on vacation towards a specific region because with this, you will know if you are going to have long sunny days or some, without the presence of the Astro Rey.
