1. Summer Solstice: During the summer months, particularly around the summer solstice (around June 21), Denmark experiences the longest daylight hours. At this time, Copenhagen, the capital city, can have up to 17 to 18 hours of daylight.
2. Winter Solstice: Conversely, during the winter months, particularly around the winter solstice (around December 21), Denmark experiences the shortest daylight hours. During this time, Copenhagen may only have around 7 to 8 hours of daylight.
3. Seasonal Variations: Denmark experiences significant variations in daylight hours between summer and winter due to its location in the Northern Hemisphere. For instance, in January (winter), Copenhagen may have around 7 hours of daylight, while in June (summer), it may have up to 18 hours of daylight.
4. Geographical Location: The daylight hours can vary slightly across Denmark due to its north-south geographical extent. The southern regions of Denmark generally receive a few more hours of daylight compared to the northern regions, especially during summer months.
5. Transition Periods: During the spring and autumn equinoxes (around March 21 and September 21), Denmark experiences moderate daylight hours, transitioning between the extremes of summer and winter.
It's important to note that these are approximate values, and the exact daylight hours can vary slightly from year to year due to natural variations and time zone adjustments.
