About the time in Greensboro
Around 269,666 people live in Greensboro, 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 06:44 and sunset at 07:58 local time, giving 13h 14m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (36.10, -79.83) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Greensboro.
Greensboro runs on America/New_York, which puts the city UTC −4 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.
