All data given for August 25th., localtime in JerseySunrise and sunset by month (Saint Helier)Duration of the sunsetThe distance from the equator and the path of the sun determines not only the time of sunrise and sunset. The farther a country is from the equator, the more oblique the sun's path is to the horizon. And this causes a different duration that a sunset takes. Saint Helier lies on the 49th degree of northern latitude and is therefore very far away from the equator. While a sunset near the equator only lasts about 20 minutes, in Jersey this period averages 40 minutes. In June, it's about 43 minutes in Saint Helier, while in December it's 37 minutes.International cities for comparison
