About the time in Santa Cruz
Sunrise today lands at 06:10 and sunset at 05:55 local time, giving 11h 45m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-14.48, -75.25) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Santa Cruz.
Around 39 people live in Santa Cruz, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Santa Cruz sits at latitude -14.48, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 45m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
