    Toronto’s June day hours run 77 minutes, and its November sunrise comes at almost eight

    At 43.7° north Toronto sits further from the equator than New York, and its hours swing wider.

    Toronto lies about 5.4° of longitude west of New York and shares Eastern time, so its Sun runs roughly 21 minutes behind New York’s on the clock. Solar noon falls between 12:01 and 13:27 through the year. The latest sunrise is about 07:58 in early November, just before Eastern Daylight Time ends, and the earliest is 05:35 in early June. Sunset runs from 16:40 in early December to 21:03 on 24 June.

    Ontario follows the North American daylight saving dates, from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November.

    Times are local clock times from this calculator, with daylight saving applied where Toronto uses it. Each planetary hour is one twelfth of the daylight or one twelfth of the night, so these two lengths set every hour of the day.

    Born in Toronto? Enter your birth date and time to see your hour

    Leave the city on Toronto, set your birth date and type your birth time into the time field. The panel names your hour and the dial turns to the planetary day you were born in. Ontario’s clock rules have changed over the years, and the calculator applies the rules in force on your birth date. A birth before sunrise belongs to the night of the previous day, and the panel tells you when that applies.
