* Calculated from sunrise and sunset times; actual visible daylight can vary slightly with weather, elevation and atmospheric conditions.
Geographic position of Laplace
Laplace is located in the Northern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere. Its coordinates are 30.0670° N, 90.4815° W.
-
Distance from the Equator:
about 3,347 km (2,080 mi)
-
Distance from the North Pole:
about 6,672 km (4,146 mi)
-
Distance from the South Pole:
about 13,366 km (8,305 mi)
-
Distance from the Prime Meridian:
about 8,717 km (5,416 mi) west
Laplace lies in the subtropical latitude zone. This latitude affects daylight length, seasonal variation and how local solar time compares with standard clock time.
Antipode of Laplace
The point on Earth exactly opposite Laplace is near Perth - when it's noon in Laplace, it's close to midnight there.
Golden Hour & Blue Hour in Laplace
Approximate times based on sunrise/sunset. Actual golden hour quality varies with weather and season.
Current Season in Laplace
Laplace is currently in Autumn. Autumn begins around September 22, which is 1 day from now.
Because Laplace is in the Northern Hemisphere, its seasons run opposite to cities in the other hemisphere. When it is autumn here, places on the other side of the equator are experiencing the opposite season at the same time.
Longest & Shortest Day in Laplace
In Laplace, the longest day of the year falls around June 21 and lasts about 14h 5m. The shortest day falls around December 21 and lasts about 10h 12m, a difference of roughly 3h 53m between the two.
This seasonal swing depends on Laplace's latitude: cities closer to the equator see little variation in daylight throughout the year, while cities farther from it, like Laplace at 30.07° N, experience a much wider gap between summer and winter daylight.
Population Ranking of Laplace
With a population of 29,872, Laplace ranks as the 1732nd most populous city in United States, out of 3,397 cities tracked on this site.
