About the time in Sacramento
Sacramento sits at latitude 17.13, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 36m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 05:56 and sunset at 06:32 local time, giving 12h 36m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (17.13, -92.93) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Sacramento.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Sacramento day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 15:00–23:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
