About the time in LaPlace
LaPlace sits at latitude 39.80, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 29m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:13 and sunset at 07:42 local time, giving 13h 29m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (39.80, -88.72) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in LaPlace.
The zone identifier America/Chicago is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Chicago keeps pointing at Chicago time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
