About the time in Canton
Sunrise today lands at 06:42 and sunset at 08:14 local time, giving 13h 32m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (40.81, -81.37) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Canton.
Around 73,007 people live in Canton, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Canton day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 13:00–21:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
