About the time in Sacramento
Sacramento sits at latitude 27.96, 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.
Sunrise today lands at 06:44 and sunset at 07:40 local time, giving 12h 55m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (27.96, -107.48) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Sacramento.
The zone identifier America/Chihuahua is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Chihuahua keeps pointing at Chihuahua time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
