Sunrise and sunset by month (Andorra la Vella)

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. And this causes a different duration that a sunset takes. Andorra la Vella lies on the 43rd degree of northern latitude and is therefore quite far away from the equator. While a sunset near the equator only lasts about 20 minutes, in Andorra this period averages 33 minutes. In June, it's about 35 minutes in Andorra la Vella, while in December it's 32 minutes.
