Why daylight changes throughout the year in Toronto
Toronto sits at approximately 43.65° latitude, in the Northern Hemisphere. The Earth's 23.4° axial tilt causes daylight to vary with the seasons. In summer the Northern Hemisphere tilts toward the Sun, lengthening the days; in winter it tilts away, shortening them.
What this means for daily life
The 6.5-hour seasonal swing is significant: Toronto goes from roughly 15h 25m of daylight in Jun down to 8h 57m in Dec. This affects everything from commute timing to mood, which is why seasonal affective patterns are more pronounced at higher latitudes.
