About the time in Princeton
Sunrise today lands at 06:57 and sunset at 07:52 local time, giving 12h 55m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (25.54, -80.41) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Princeton.
Princeton runs on America/New_York, which puts the city UTC −4 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.
Princeton sits at latitude 25.54, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 55m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
