About the time in Paita
Paita sits at latitude -5.17, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 58m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:28 and sunset at 06:26 local time, giving 11h 58m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-5.17, -81.06) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Paita.
Paita 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.
