About the time in Long Island
The zone identifier America/Nassau is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Nassau keeps pointing at Nassau time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Long Island sits at latitude 23.22, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 50m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Long Island day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 13:00–21:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
