Lesser Latesun

The sundial's smaller peak behind the clock.

The solar day is exactly 24 hours, and from here the Sun starts to catch up.

On the figure, the curve’s furthest point on this side comes a day or two away from this moment: the moment is measured in clock minutes, the figure in angles on the sky. See the analemma.

The name

Names ending in -sun say where the Sun stands against the clock: early, even or late. Great and Lesser tell the two peaks apart by size.

Precision

A flat peak: the value barely changes for days on either side, so the exact hour means little.

Every year

Between 1900 and 2100 it comes as early as July 24 at 23:50 UTC (2092) and as late as July 27 at 17:16 UTC (1903).Dates wobble through each four-year leap cycle and creep earlier across a century, until a skipped leap day, as in 1900 and 2100, sets them back.
