The Bahamas have an east-west extent of 6.3 degrees longitude. Given the country's location in Caribbean, this corresponds to about 640 kilometers. With this still relatively small extension, the course of the sun is only slightly different at various positions in the country. The position of the sun in the west of the country differs from that in the east by only about 25 minutes. This means the sun rises and sets 25 minutes later in the west than in the east.
