Why does the sun set earlier in some parts of the world than in others?

512 views

I live in Asia so I spent my whole life having sunset between 6 to 630pm so by that time everywhere was pretty dark and the streetlamps came on. I was pretty shocked later in life when I found out that there are parts of the world like in Europe or the States where it’d still be bright out at fucking 730 or even 8pm. How come? I know that they are behind by Asia and Australia by some hours but why does the sun set later there too?

Time zones aren’t perfect, look at a map of time ones and you’ll see.

Also it changes depending on how close you are to the equator, equator countries get more sunlight while northern and southern countries get less
