Several years ago I described my “discovery” that the earliest sunset occurs earlier than the shortest day:
The earliest sunset occurs earlier than the shortest day
I thought that a similar rule was true for the longest day, but it's not true! Everything is reversed during the summer!
This time I prepared a double example (for longest and shortest days), but I used a different city (Edmonton in Canada), so the dates are not so spread out.
1. The longest day and the latest sunset.

In Edmonton the longest day is 20 June 2021, but the latest sunset is on 24 June 2021.
2. The shortest day and the earliest sunset.

In Edmonton the shortest day is 20 December 2021, but the earliest sunset is on 12 December 2021.
