Norway has an east-west extension of 26.4 degrees of longitude. Given the country's location in Northern Europe, this corresponds to about 1300 kilometers. At this extension, from a purely geographical point of view, 2 time zones would be envisaged, since their optimal distance is 15 degrees of longitude. The position of the sun in the west of the country differs from that in the east by 106 minutes. This means the sun rises and sets 106 minutes later in the west than in the east.
