Firstly, here’s what daylight hours look like for each of Australia’s capital cities. This uses the estimated position of the sun at a given time and date, and does not take into account things like the weather.

You can also toggle daylight saving off and on to see how it would change things in places such as Perth and Brisbane that don’t currently have it, or to compare the vastly different (potential) sunlight received at different times of the year in the north of the country versus the south of the country. A contour plot of the hours of daylight as a function of latitude and day of the year, using the most accurate models described in this article. It can be seen that the area of constant day and constant night reach up to the polar circles (here labeled "Anta. c." and "Arct. c."), which is a consequence of the earth's inclination. A plot of hours of daylight as a function of the date for changing latitudes. This plot was created using the simple sunrise equation, approximating the sun as a single point and does not take into account effects caused by the atmosphere or the diameter of the Sun.

I used Suncurves to create a schedule for myself in 2015. My goal is to wake up "with the sun" each day to get my body’s circadian rhythm synchronized with daylight-based zeitgebers help me get better sleep. Suncurves tells me when the sun will get up tomorrow. So I set myself a bedtime alarm for visible sunrise minus 9 hours to ensure I am getting a solid 8 hours of sleep each night. Suncurves is helping me achieve my health goals! So with all that in mind I’ve toiled deep into the code mines to produce a series of graphics that use sun position calculations to show how daylight saving currently affects daylight hours in Australia, and what would happen if things changed. The sunrise equation or sunset equation can be used to derive the time of sunrise or sunset for any solar declination and latitude in terms of local solar time when sunrise and sunset actually occur.

For that reason the following maps compare the amount of daylight hours for each area within a given time period for different situations.
