Duration of the sunset
The distance from the equator and the path of the sun determines not only the time of sunrise and sunset. The farther a country is from the equator, the more oblique the sun's path is to the horizon, causing sunset to last for a different duration. Bishkek lies on the 43rd degree of northern latitude and is therefore very far away from the equator. While a sunset near the equator lasts only about 20 minutes, in Kyrgyzstan, this period averages 36 minutes. In June, it's about 40 minutes in Bishkek, while in December it's 33 minutes.International cities for comparison
