About the time in Toronto
Around 5,091 people live in Toronto, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Toronto runs on America/New_York, which puts the city UTC −4 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Toronto sits at latitude 40.46, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 31m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
