About the time in Virginia
Virginia sits at latitude 47.52, in the temperate-north band, so day length here swings sharply between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 59m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:14 and sunset at 08:12 local time, giving 13h 59m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (47.52, -92.54) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Virginia.
The zone identifier America/Chicago is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Chicago keeps pointing at Chicago time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
