What sets Tucson apart
- Its latest sunset of the year is only 7:35 PM on June 22, the 2nd earliest of the 51 cities' summer sunsets, because Arizona keeps standard time all year.
- Tucson sits at about the latitude of Tel Aviv, so their shortest and longest days are close to the same length.
- Its longest day is 4 h 14 min longer than its shortest: 14 h 16 min on the longest day against 10 h 2 min on the shortest.
