About the time in El Alto
Around 185 people live in El Alto, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 06:21 and sunset at 06:17 local time, giving 11h 56m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-6.92, -79.16) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in El Alto.
El Alto sits at latitude -6.92, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 56m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
