About the time in Loja
Sunrise today lands at 06:20 and sunset at 06:20 local time, giving 12h 00m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-3.99, -79.20) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Loja.
Around 274,112 people live in Loja, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Loja sits at latitude -3.99, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 00m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
