Coverage Across United States

The directory currently includes 40 cities in United States. Each city keeps its own coordinates and IANA time zone, so the clocks and solar calculations on the linked pages are tied to that location rather than copied from the capital.

Within this city set, Anchorage is the furthest north and Honolulu the furthest south, a latitude span of about 39.9°. That geographic separation is why day length, dawn and sunset can differ even when the civil clock is the same.

Honolulu and Boston are the east-west extremes represented here, about 86.8° of longitude apart. Longitude changes when the sun reaches local noon and the horizon, so one sunrise, sunset or prayer timetable should not be reused for every city.

The listed cities use 10 different IANA time zones. Choose the actual city when the local clock matters, especially around daylight-saving changes.
