About the time in Franklin County
Franklin County sits at latitude 34.44, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 14m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:17 and sunset at 07:31 local time, giving 13h 14m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (34.44, -87.84) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Franklin County.
Franklin County runs on America/Chicago, 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.
