The timing of the disappearance of the sun below the horizon in the Pelican State is a variable phenomenon dependent on geographical location within the state and the specific date. Sunset times are not fixed, but rather shift throughout the year due to Earth’s axial tilt and its orbit around the sun. For example, sunset will occur later in the summer months compared to the winter months.
Knowing the daily conclusion of daylight hours is valuable for a variety of reasons. It is crucial for planning outdoor activities, scheduling events, and ensuring safety during travel. Historically, sunset marked the end of the workday for many agricultural societies and continues to influence daily routines. Accurate knowledge minimizes potential hazards and maximizes efficient resource allocation.
