About the time in Rio
Sunrise today lands at 06:18 and sunset at 07:51 local time, giving 13h 33m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (41.11, -90.40) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Rio.
Around 215 people live in Rio, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Rio sits at latitude 41.11, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 33m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
