Barely perceptible — near the equator the length of the day hardly changes at all, and the seasons announce themselves through rain and heat instead.

Solstices and equinoxes
| Date | Sunrise | Sunset | Daylight | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| March equinox | 20 Mar | 06:05 | 18:11 | 12h 07m |
| June solstice | 21 Jun | 05:39 | 18:25 | 12h 46m |
| September equinox | 22 Sep | 05:50 | 17:57 | 12h 07m |
| December solstice | 21 Dec | 06:14 | 17:43 | 11h 29m |
The equinoxes give almost exactly twelve hours of daylight everywhere on earth — "almost" because sunrise is defined by the sun's upper edge rather than its centre, and the atmosphere bends its light over the horizon before it has really arrived. Both lengthen the day by a few minutes.

Assumptions
- Sea-level horizon. Hills, mountains and buildings all delay sunrise and bring sunset forward, sometimes by a lot in a valley.
- Standard refraction. Sunrise is taken at −0.833°, allowing for the sun's disc and average atmospheric bending. Unusual air conditions shift it by a minute or two.
- Local clock time, with daylight saving applied from the IANA timezone database.
