Canberra is located at 35.28°S, 149.13°E. Its latitude determines how dramatically daylight hours change through the year.
The city uses the Australia/Sydney timezone (GMT+11). It observes Daylight Saving Time, so sunrise and sunset times shift by one hour in spring and autumn.
Solar noon — the moment the sun reaches its highest point in the sky — occurs when the sun crosses the local meridian. In Canberra this falls around 12:02 in mid-summer and 12:53 in December, reflecting UTC offset and any DST adjustments.
