Sunrise and sunset in Toronto in November

On November 1 in Toronto the sun rises at 06:57 and sets at 17:05; on day 30 it rises at 07:32 and sets at 16:42. Over the month the day gets 59 minutes shorter.

In Toronto (43.6° latitude), November 2026 has 30 days whose sun rises at 06:57 and sets at 17:05 on the 1st, and at 07:32 and 16:42 on the 30th. Mid-month the day lasts 9 h 36 min and the sun reaches 27° above the horizon. Even so, the UV index never reaches 3 at any point in the month: at this latitude and time of year, the ozone layer absorbs UVB before enough of it reaches the ground. So in November there is no vitamin D synthesis in Toronto at any hour of the day, however long you stay out.
