Correct.

Mid-latitudes, they occur roughly one week before and
after a solstice. At the equator, the difference is
almost one month before and after(!), while nearer to
Poles the difference is far less. Equation of
Time and the Analemma are at play.


A place in the far north or far south may not have a sunrise and sunset
on a particular day (daylight all day or night all day). What I don't
know, is if there are any days when there is one (sunrise or sunset) but
not the other.
