About the time in Nicaragua
Nicaragua sits at latitude 13.00, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 30m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Around 6,465,513 people live in Nicaragua, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 05:28 and sunset at 05:58 local time, giving 12h 30m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (13.00, -85.00) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Nicaragua.
