About the time in Carolina
Carolina sits at latitude 0.65, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 08m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Carolina runs on America/Guayaquil, which puts the city UTC −5 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Sunrise today lands at 06:12 and sunset at 06:19 local time, giving 12h 08m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (0.65, -78.22) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Carolina.
