Darkness arrives earliest on December 7 at 5:13 PM and latest on June 25 at 9:39 PM, a swing of 4 h 26 min across the year.
The longest day brings 15 h 27 min of daylight and the shortest just 8 h 56 min. The earliest dusk comes about 14 days away from the shortest day, because Earth's oval orbit shifts solar noon through the year.
After sunset, twilight lasts about 29 min at the March equinox and stretches to 36 min in midsummer. Near the equator it is only about 21 min year-round.
In Toronto, on 94 evenings it stays light until after 9 pm, while on 93 days it is dark before 6 pm.
Toronto sits close to the middle of its time zone, so the sun is highest within 16 min of noon on standard time.
