About the time in Ambato
The zone identifier America/Guayaquil is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Guayaquil keeps pointing at Guayaquil time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Ambato sits at latitude -1.25, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 05m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:15 and sunset at 06:20 local time, giving 12h 05m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-1.25, -78.62) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Ambato.
