The amount of daylight gained between December 21 and December 22 is measured in seconds. By the first week in January, it may be as much as a minute. From February 1 to February 2, 2 minutes, and by March 21, 4 minutes per day. Then it begins to decrease until June 21, when the difference goes back to zero.

At 41 degrees north latitude how many minutes of daylight do we gain per day?

At 41 degrees north latitude, you gain some length of daylight every day from December 21 until June 21, and you lose some length of daylight every day from June 21 until December 21. The number of minutes difference from one day to the next also changes. It's greatest on March 21 and on September 21, and when you get to June 21 or December 21, it's almost nothing.


How many minutes of daylight are gained per day from Dec to June 21 in Victoria bc Canada?

The number of seconds or minutes gained per day is different for every date, and for every latitude. It runs in a sinusoidal curve; starting from a trough on December 21, the day length begins to CREEP up slowly, day by day, a few seconds, then many seconds, then an additional minute each day. By March 21, the equinox, the Alberta BC days are getting rapidly longer; 4 minutes each day! Then the pace of increase slows, until mid June when the days are getting only seconds longer each day until June 21, when the cycle peaks and begins to fall.


How many minutes are gained per day from December to June in Montana?

This would depend on the precise location; cities in southern Montana will have a smaller gain that cities in northern Montana. But not by a WHOLE lot. The US Naval Observatory has a web page where you can see the times of sunrise/sunset for an entire year at a specified location. This web page is at the link below. The number of minutes gained per day varies; hardly any on December 22, 4 minutes per day on March 21st (when it is changing fastest) and hardly any around the summer solstice on June 21. The length of day follows a sine wave -shaped curve.


Why is the amount of daylight gained or lost not consistent?

The amount of daylight gained or lost each day is not consistent due to the tilt of the Earth's axis and its elliptical orbit around the sun. This causes variations in the angle at which sunlight reaches different parts of the Earth throughout the year, leading to changes in the length of daylight hours.

How many minutes daylight gained?

The amount of daylight gained varies depending on your location and the time of year. Generally, around the time of the spring equinox, many places in the Northern Hemisphere can gain approximately 2 to 3 minutes of daylight each day as the days lengthen. This increase continues until the summer solstice, after which daylight begins to decrease again. For specific details, it's best to check local sunrise and sunset times.

How many minutes of daylight are gained per day from December to March in Glasgow?

Its not a constant value, from the winter solstice (shortest day, Dec 21) the increase is very slight rising to a maximum increase per day at the spring equinox ( Mar 20 ) As a rough guide, the total increase from mid december ( 7 hrs. 2 mins daylight) to mid March (11 hrs 48 mins daylight) is 296 mins. so that gives you 286 mins increase in 91 days = average increase of (286 / 91) 3.14 minutes per day
