About the time in Alta
Around 1,883 people live in Alta, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Alta sits at latitude 42.67, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 38m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:35 and sunset at 08:13 local time, giving 13h 38m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (42.67, -95.30) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Alta.
