Year distribution of sunrise and sunset times in Elliot, Eastern Cape - 2026
The following graph shows sunrise and sunset times in Elliot, Eastern Cape for every day of the year.

Earliest and latest sunrise and sunset in Elliot
In Elliot, the earliest sunrise of 2026 is on December 4 at 4:56 am, while the latest sunrise is on June 30 at 7:08 am. The earliest sunset is on June 10 at 5:12 pm, and the latest sunset is on January 8 at 7:17 pm.
Elliot gets 4h 05m more daylight on the longest day than on the shortest one (14h 11m versus 10h 06m). Averaged over the whole year, a day lasts 12h 06m.
Elliot Analemma
Due to Earth's tilted axis and slightly elliptical orbit, the Sun is never seen in the same position at noon in Elliot. 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 Elliot.
Over the year, the 12:00 Sun swings between just 35.2° above the horizon (around Jun 20) and 82° (around Dec 20) in Elliot. The smaller loop hangs at the bottom, the signature of a Southern Hemisphere analemma.
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.
