About the time in Kansas
Around 2,970,606 people live in Kansas, 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 06:55 and sunset at 08:18 local time, giving 13h 23m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (38.50, -98.50) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Kansas.
Kansas sits at latitude 38.50, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 23m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
