About the time in San Francisco
San Francisco sits at latitude 18.05, 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 06:08 and sunset at 06:45 local time, giving 12h 36m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (18.05, -96.12) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in San Francisco.
Around 85 people live in San Francisco, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
