Why daylight changes throughout the year in Yakutsk
Yakutsk sits at approximately 62.03° 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 14.5-hour seasonal swing is significant: Yakutsk goes from roughly 19h 40m of daylight in Jun down to 5h 13m in Dec. This affects everything from commute timing to mood, which is why seasonal affective patterns are more pronounced at higher latitudes.
