Today, measured from Eritrea's geographic center, sunrise is at 06:00 AM and sunset is at 06:54 PM, giving a day length of 12h 53m. See the Sunrise & Sunset panel above. Note that a large country may span several time zones or sunrise/sunset times depending on the region.
Eritrea's geographic center is approximately 1,690 km (1,050 mi) from the Equator, in the northern hemisphere, and about 4,274 km from the Prime Meridian. See the Global Position panel above for the full breakdown.
The antipodal point of Eritrea's geographic center — the spot exactly opposite it through the Earth's core — falls nearest to Otepa, French Polynesia, roughly 334 km from the true antipode. Since about 71% of the Earth's surface is ocean, most antipodal points land in open water rather than on a named place.
Asmara sits approximately 93 km (58 mi) E of Eritrea's geographic center. See the capital centrality card above for the full figure.
