About the time in Chicago
Sunrise today lands at 06:36 and sunset at 07:23 local time, giving 12h 47m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (22.34, -104.16) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Chicago.
Around 9 people live in Chicago, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Chicago sits at latitude 22.34, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 47m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
