Why daylight changes throughout the year in Lima
Lima sits at approximately -12.05° latitude, in the Southern Hemisphere. The Earth's 23.4° axial tilt causes daylight to vary with the seasons. In summer the Southern Hemisphere tilts toward the Sun, lengthening the days; in winter it tilts away, shortening them.
What this means for daily life
Lima has a mild seasonal swing of about 1.4 hours. Daylight doesn't change dramatically through the year, which is one of the perks of being close to the equator.
