About the time in Columbia
Sunrise today lands at 06:28 and sunset at 07:56 local time, giving 13h 29m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (38.95, -92.33) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Columbia.
Around 108,500 people live in Columbia, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Columbia sits at latitude 38.95, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 29m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
