About the time in Jackson
Sunrise today lands at 06:53 and sunset at 08:27 local time, giving 13h 34m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (42.24, -84.40) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Jackson.
Around 33,534 people live in Jackson, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
The zone identifier America/Detroit is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Detroit keeps pointing at Detroit time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
