Length of daylight on a given date and lattitude...

[x39]

Would anyone know of a link or other resource for calculating the length of daylight when the date and longitude are known? Thanks.

Since many fishing, game and waterfowl hunting regulations have restrictions on taking of critters before sunrise and after sunset, the State regulation books usually contain the current year's charts. And they are free. Here is one of the many online sources for the 2010 data:

And here is a link to the Old Farmer's Almanac chart. Just enter your city or zip code in the place of mine:

Here's a really user friendly site that I found (Daylight Hours Explorer).

You can use the slider bars to change the date & latitude, and see the daylight hours change in real time. Pretty cool. :thumbup:

my garmin handheld gps has a hunt/fish option
which will predict sunrise/set at a specific location
on any given date.
if you have a gps,maybe check into it?

Thanks all for the replies. Chopchop, that is just what I was looking for, thank you. The information I'm ultimately looking for regards a sub-arctic part of Greenland.
