Days are about to get way shorter in September: How much daylight we’re losing

Summary

In September, the amount of daylight each day decreases, meaning it gets darker earlier. Even though the total length of a day remains 24 hours, the time the sun is visible is getting shorter.

Key Facts

  • Days always have 24 hours, but sunlight hours change.
  • In September, daylight hours get shorter as the sun sets earlier.
  • This change happens because of Earth's position relative to the sun.
  • The shortening of daylight is part of the natural yearly cycle.
  • People may notice less sunlight in the afternoon and evening.
  • This decrease continues until the winter months when days are shortest.
