How to read it
Vancouver's longest day, around June 21, has 16 hours 15 minutes of daylight, and its shortest, around December 21, has 8 hours 11 minutes.
Sunset in Vancouver comes earliest around December 12, at about 17:13, and latest around June 25, at about 21:22. That earliest sunset comes about 9 days before Vancouver's shortest day, because the Sun's noon drifts against the clock through the year. Vancouver keeps the same clock all year (America/Vancouver), so its sunset drifts with no jump.
Vancouver's evening golden hour, the Sun from 6° up to 4° below the horizon, lasts about 60 minutes around the equinoxes; at midsummer about 75 minutes.
