This web application displays the periods between sunrise and sunset for five cities on the globe for the entire year. The cities are sorted from the northern to the southern hemisphere.

In this way you can see the change of seasons on our planet during a year's duration.

Incorporated too are the local Daylight Saving Times (DST) which shift the time to one hour later during the summer months in three of the displayed places (Manchester, Santiago and Stanley).
