There is still the sun at ten o clock in the evening in May in Spain, why

Personally, I am very skeptical of this conclusion, and the result of the simulation is 19:58 in 2013, when I simulated June 22 (the longest daylight and basically the latest sunset) from Stellarium, and chose A Coruña (the city in the north-west of Spain, i.e. the city with the latest sunset).

The above discussion has relaxed the conditions, selected the longest time and the city with the latest sunset in the mainland, and the difference between true solar time and peaceful solar time, and atmospheric refraction has been taken into account. A Coruña may be some distance from the northwesternmost headland of Spain (Cape Finisterre in Corcuvión), but the error is only a few minutes at most and can be ignored.

I also once wondered, could it be the colonies that led to such a result? However, it was discovered that Spain had lost its last remaining colonies in Asia and the Americas long after the Spanish-American War. There are still a few scattered plots of land in Africa after World War II (which are meaningless and now independent to the southeast of the mainland).

As for the Canary Islands, an overseas territory, it is not much from the mainland, and it cannot cross two or three time zones.

There are only two answers to the question, one is that Spain uses a certain method of timekeeping, which causes the time to be used more than three hours behind GMT (Spain should be in the zero time zone, right?). The second is that this statement is wrong. In contrast, I prefer the second option, because if the Spaniards adopt such a time zone, it will have a very big impact not only on air and shipping, but also on the daily life of the public.

The higher the latitude, the longer the daylight in the first half of the year, and the polar day is likely near the North Pole.

The time zone used in Spain is the East 1st Zone, and Beijing is the East 8th Zone, and I believe you are not mistaken. The problem is that the time zone used in Spain does not match the time zone in which it is located, and many parts of Spain are actually in the 0 time zone. It's as if China uses Beijing time uniformly, but the time zone in Xinjiang is very different, and there is still a sun at 11 p.m. Beijing time in summer.

I hope you understand what I'm saying. I remember that there was a roommate in Xinjiang at the university who often converted Xinjiang time, hehe.

Spain is a very sunny country, and the sun usually sets at 9 p.m. Ball matches in Spain are generally played at 10 p.m. Spanish time.

Well, that's it, the sun goes down late in the summer, so there is a difference between daylight saving time and Eastern time, six hours between summer and China, and seven in winter.

Dude, that's the spotlight in the stadium.

This has something to do with the Mediterranean climate, because in the Iberian Peninsula, for example, the sun comes out later in the summer, and the sun sets later, at 10 o'clock in the evening. (I'm comparing it to China). So at 10 o'clock in the evening in the summer, you can still see the red glow in the western sky.

In addition, perhaps because of this, the Spaniards work later than we do, and the windows of the buildings have roller blinds that are lifted up and lowered every day to block the sun. This is unique in the world. And usually the roller shutter is also half-open and half-closed.

Therefore, the life of the Spaniards has the flavor of the Hainan people in China, and over time it has formed the characteristics of being very lively at night and quiet in the morning, but when going to work every day, such as the subway, it is still crowded with people.

Yes, the further west you go, the later the sunset.

China spans 5 time zones, with a 4-hour time difference between the westernmost East 5 and the easternmost East 9.

It's 10 p.m. there, and it's late evening Beijing time. So the sun hasn't set yet.

Taking Kashgar, Xinjiang as an example, the sunset time today (20160617) is 22:25 Beijing time

At half past eleven o'clock in the evening in Tacheng, Xinjiang, the sun slowly set.

Because the sun sets later in Spain than in China, Spain finishes dinner so late, and in Spain, family activities are held after dinner, such as dancing and singing, so they go to bed at night around 12 o'clock and they get up at 10 o'clock in the morning.

Because the sun sets later in Spain than in China, and because the sun sets late, that's why they eat so late
