Understanding Daylight in Ghaziabad

Ghaziabad is located at 28.67°N latitude, which determines its seasonal daylight variation. At this subtropical latitude, Ghaziabad sees moderate seasonal variation. Summer brings noticeably longer days and winter brings shorter ones, but the extremes are less pronounced than at mid or high latitudes — typically 2–3 hours of difference between the solstices.

Solar noon in Ghaziabad today is at 12:17 PM — the moment when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky. This is not necessarily 12:00 PM on the clock; timezone conventions and longitude within a timezone zone can shift solar noon significantly from clock noon. The difference between clock noon and solar noon is called the equation of time, and it varies throughout the year due to Earth's elliptical orbit.
