In the northeastern region, the sunrise in winter is slightly earlier than in other areas. I once stayed at my friend\'s house in the northeast for a week and noticed that the sun rose as early as 7 o\'clock in the morning. I was amazed and asked my friend about it.
In Harbin, the sunrise in December is around 7 a.m., while it starts to get dark before 4 o\'clock. The exact time of sunset and sunrise in northern regions varies due to different latitudes and other factors.
It is difficult to give a precise answer to this question since the northern region is vast. Generally, winter begins around the winter solstice, but in our region, Northeast China\'s Heilongjiang Province, winter arrives earlier, starting from mid-October.
In the summertime, the sky in the three provinces of Northeast China starts to gradually brighten at around 2:30 a.m. The duration of sunlight above the horizon is approximately 15 hours, while in Mohe County, Heilongjiang Province, it is more than 17 hours. There is a significant difference in daylight hours between the northern and southern regions of China.
There are several reasons why the nights appear brighter in Northeast China during winter:
- The rotation and revolution of the Earth: The rotation of the Earth from west to east is the main cause of the distinction between day and night. Different regions on Earth experience different daylight hours due to the rotation.
- The latitude of the northeastern region: The farther north a location is, the longer the days in summer and the shorter the nights in winter.
- The reflection of light from the snow: In winter, the ground in the northeastern region is often covered with a layer of snow, which reflects sunlight and makes the nights appear brighter.
Whether it is light at 7 a.m. in the winter mornings of the northern region depends on the specific location. Many people know that the time of sunrise and sunset is closely related to the east-west direction rather than the north-south direction. China spans a vast area with multiple time zones.
Generally, in November, the sunrise in the northern region of China during winter occurs around 6 a.m., while in the southern region, it is around 6:30 a.m. Moreover, two important events, namely \"Heavy Snow\" and the \"Winter Solstice,\" take place during November, affecting the duration of daylight hours.
The time of sunrise depends on the longitude of the location. In Guangdong, the sunrise in winter is around 6:30 a.m. Coastal areas in China experience slightly earlier sunrises compared to the westernmost regions. Factors that influence the sunrise and sunset times include time zone, latitude, and altitude.
During the summer in Northeast China, the sunrise occurs earlier than in other regions of the country. It is about half an hour earlier than in my location, where the sky starts to brighten around 4:30 a.m.
In winter, Shenyang has a relatively shorter duration of sunlight, and most of the time, the sky appears dull and gloomy. Generally, the sky starts to brighten around 7 a.m. The sun rises from a lower altitude due to the northern latitude.
