About the time in Santa Cruz
The zone identifier America/Aruba is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Aruba keeps pointing at Aruba time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Santa Cruz sits at latitude 12.51, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 29m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Around 15,236 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.
