About the time in Belgium
The zone identifier America/Chicago is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Chicago keeps pointing at Chicago time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 06:08 and sunset at 07:38 local time, giving 13h 30m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (40.06, -87.64) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Belgium.
Around 404 people live in Belgium, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
