The Latest Sunsets after the Summer Solstice (Northern Hemisphere)
Light that Gathers Souls to Heaven
The Light of the Sun is easier to see at sunrise and sunset. For 40 degrees north latitude (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Beijing; Turkey; Japan and Spain), the latest sunsets are centered around June 27, after the longest day of the Summer Solstice. When the Sun sits low on the horizon the light is scattered as it passes through more of the Earth’s atmosphere.
- Sunrise: The morning air typically contains less dust and fewer pollutants, concentrating the Sun’s bright yellow light.
- Sunset: The air accumulates more pollutants, dust, and heat through the Day. Light is scattered more dramatically and takes on a red or orange hue.

The color Red is the easiest color for Human to see. Eyes are wide-open to the color Red, which requires no dilation to see. At the Sunset, we can clearly see the effects of the Light of Day.
Forces of Nature make it easier to see “the Day” at Sunset. We are drawn by the Light to take a personal inventory of the Love we created from the beginning to the end.
