About the time in Lancaster
Sunrise today lands at 06:28 and sunset at 07:49 local time, giving 13h 21m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (37.77, -76.47) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Lancaster.
Lancaster follows the civil time used across its region of United States; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Lancaster sits at latitude 37.77, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 21m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
