Daylight in Maple Grove right now
Maple Grove sits at 45.11° north, so its day length swings by 6h 52m across the year — from 8h 44m at the December solstice to 15h 37m at the June solstice. Today the city gets 12h 10m of daylight and the day is 3m 07s shorter than yesterday.
Day and night reach almost exactly twelve hours each on Friday, September 25, 2026 — the next equilux. That is not the equinox, and the gap is not an error: sunrise and sunset are measured at the sun’s upper edge rather than its centre, and atmospheric refraction lifts the disc into view before it has geometrically risen. The further from the equator, the larger the gap.
Solar noon — when the sun is highest, not when the clock reads twelve — comes at 1:06 PM. The difference is the combined effect of the city’s longitude within its time zone and the equation of time, which is currently 7.4 minutes.
