Ankara is located at 39.93°N, 32.86°E. Its latitude determines how dramatically daylight hours change through the year.
The city uses the Europe/Istanbul timezone (GMT+3). It does not observe Daylight Saving Time, so solar times shift gradually through the year without abrupt clock changes.
Solar noon — the moment the sun reaches its highest point in the sky — occurs when the sun crosses the local meridian. In Ankara this falls around 12:47 in mid-summer and 12:38 in December, reflecting UTC offset and any DST adjustments.
