Year distribution of sunrise and sunset times in Giwa, Kaduna - 2026
The following graph shows sunrise and sunset times in Giwa, Kaduna for every day of the year.
Daylight Dawn & dusk (civil twilight) Night Solar noon
Earliest and latest sunrise and sunset in Giwa
In Giwa, the earliest sunrise of 2026 is on May 30 at 6:05 am, while the latest sunrise is on January 26 at 6:54 am. The earliest sunset is on November 17 at 6:02 pm, and the latest sunset is on July 10 at 6:58 pm.
Giwa gets 1h 19m more daylight on the longest day than on the shortest one (12h 47m versus 11h 27m). Averaged over the whole year, a day lasts 12h 07m.
Giwa Analemma
Due to Earth's tilted axis and slightly elliptical orbit, the Sun is never seen in the same position at noon in Giwa. Throughout the year, it slowly traces this figure-eight:
Move along the curve to read the Sun's altitude and azimuth for any day of the year in Giwa.
Over the year, the 12:00 Sun swings between just 54.5° above the horizon (around Dec 26) and 82.9° (around Apr 21) in Giwa. Sitting almost under the Sun's yearly path, Giwa sees the analemma lying nearly flat overhead, with the Sun passing practically through the zenith twice a year. Notice the whole figure leans east of the meridian: over Giwa the Sun reaches its highest point between 12:13 and 12:44 depending on the time of year, but never at 12:00.
Detailed Analemma Chart
The technical chart below plots one dot per day, labels the first day of each month, marks the solstices, equinoxes, perihelion and aphelion, and draws the noon altitude of the equinoxes (90° minus your latitude) together with its ±23.4° seasonal limits.
Why does the figure look wider here than in the sky view above?
Both draw the same data, but with different conventions. The sky view uses the same scale on both axes, so it shows the analemma with its true proportions, as a camera would capture it: about 47° tall and only a few degrees wide. This chart, like most technical analemma diagrams, stretches each axis independently to fill the plot, expanding the narrow azimuth range several times so its day-to-day variation can actually be read. Also, azimuth is not sky distance: near the zenith, one degree of azimuth spans much less than one degree across the sky, which further widens the figure in this representation.
