About the time in Rantoul
Rantoul sits at latitude 38.55, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 25m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:40 and sunset at 08:06 local time, giving 13h 25m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (38.55, -95.10) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Rantoul.
The zone identifier America/Chicago is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Chicago keeps pointing at Chicago time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
