Sydney is located at 33.87°S, 151.21°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 Sydney this falls around 11:54 in mid-summer and 12:45 in December, reflecting UTC offset and any DST adjustments.
