Sunrise today lands at 06:55 and sunset at 08:08 local time, giving 13h 12m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (34.50, -82.29) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Princeton.
Around 62 people live in Princeton, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
The zone identifier America/New_York is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/New_York keeps pointing at New York time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
