Sunrise today lands at 06:02 and sunset at 05:50 local time, giving 11h 48m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-12.66, -73.68) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Los Angeles.
Around 229 people live in Los Angeles, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Los Angeles runs on America/Lima, which puts the city UTC −5 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
