About the time in Boston
The zone identifier America/Belize is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Belize keeps pointing at Belize time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 05:37 and sunset at 06:16 local time, giving 12h 38m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (17.68, -88.37) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Boston.
Boston sits at latitude 17.68, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 38m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
