Long Canadian summer days
At 43.7° N, Toronto swings from about 8 hours 55 minutes of daylight at the winter solstice to 15 hours 27 minutes at the summer solstice. June sunsets pass 21:05 EDT and the sky stays usable past 22:00, while December darkens before 16:45 — a seven-hour seasonal swing that shapes everything from patio season to hockey practice under the lights.
Lake Ontario moderates both ends
The lake delays spring warming and extends autumn light, and along the waterfront the eastern horizon is open water — the calculator's sunrise times are nearly exact for the Beaches and Harbourfront. Golden hour over the CN Tower in midsummer runs past an hour, one of the longest windows of any city on this site.
