Darkness arrives earliest on November 30 at 5:53 PM and latest on June 29 at 8:54 PM, a swing of 3 h across the year.
The longest day brings 13 h 58 min of daylight and the shortest just 10 h 20 min. The earliest dusk comes about 21 days away from the shortest day, because Earth's oval orbit shifts solar noon through the year.
After sunset, twilight lasts about 24 min at the March equinox and stretches to 27 min in midsummer. Near the equator it is only about 21 min year-round.
In Orlando, on 44 days it is dark before 6 pm.
Orlando sits toward the western side of its time zone, so the sun runs about 24 min behind the clock. That pushes sunsets later than in towns further east.
Orlando lies 3,174 km (1,972 miles) north of the equator at 28.54°N. That is almost the same latitude as San Antonio, so both see a similar yearly rhythm of daylight.
