About the time in Jackson
Jackson follows the civil time used across its region of United States; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Jackson sits at latitude 43.62, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 38m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:33 and sunset at 08:11 local time, giving 13h 38m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (43.62, -94.99) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Jackson.
