Quote HistoryQuoted:
"Noon" is technically defined as when the sun is directly overhead. If you were on the equator, saw the sun was directly overhead, and called a friend who was about 1,000 miles to the west of you, then he would tell you that the sun wouldn't be directly overhead for another hour. Back in the days before trains, phones, and telegraphs every single town had its own "noon." It didn't matter if a town a hundred miles to the east said noon happened a few minutes earlier than you did. Your fastest method of communication had hooves and ate grass. But, when the telegraph came around and when railroads became a thing (Because railroads have to be strictly scheduled) everyone decided to standardize their times. To keep clocks at least somewhat tied to the sun time zones were invented. But the time zone doesn't override physics. Parts of Ohio are quite a bit to the West of parts of North Carolina and that means the sun is going to set later But there's more. You might know that it stays light all day long above the Arctic circle during the late spring and early summer. And it stays dark all day long at the winter Solstice. This is due to the tilt of Earth's axis. Well, this effect doesn't end at the Arctic circle. As you go north the length of the day during summer increases. Conversely the length of the night gets shorter in the winter as you go north. And Ohio is a bit to the North of North Carolina. Combine those two effects and it was enough to make the difference you are seeing.

Clocks are man-made. Time zones are man-made. Time is relative to your position to the sun. You can cross an imaginary line and your smartphone clock will change by an hour. Do you really think that it is an hour later (earlier)? Some cities /counties don't exercise DST. The time can change when you enter a town, then change back when you exit the town. Did time change? Not likely.

I'm ignorant to it The apparent time of sunset and sunrise is more a function of Latitude (North and South) than it is of Longitude (East or West). That's why you can have days and even weeks where there is no sun at all (or no night) at extremes of Latitude. |

if you took real measurements accurately youll notice nc has sunset before ohio. also obviously if the sun is setting behind a mountain or hill in ohio the time is not accurate. and time zones in general are not accurate in relation to the sun, as you could imagine the sun would set in alabama much before the left border of texas, but share the same time. its probably a 12-24 minute delay when comparing nc shore to somewhere in ohio after all variables considered. if you do a rough calculation, roughly 24 hours in a day (full rotation)= 1440 minutes, 360* lines of longitude, so it should take 4 minutes per degree of longitude. NC beaches would roughly be at around 76*, 77*, or 78* longitude, and ohio sits somewhere between 81*-84* longitude, so theres a difference in longitude anywhere from 3*-8*. so 4 minutes per degree of longitude should make it anywhere from 12-24 minutes. Theres other numbers in there for the fact that the tropic of cancer sits at 23* lat, which is the highest point the sun comes up to the northern hemisphere during the summer, and North carolina is around 36* lat and Ohio is at around 40* lat. this probably accounts for why times are closer together in the summer since overall both areas will have the sun higher up in the sky. i have no experience in mapping or math, but im not too surprised that both locations have similar sunset times.

Also think about Alaska and the mdnight sun in the summer. The farther north you go in the summer, daylight is longer. Hawaii on the other hand has not much difference in summer and winter daylight hours. That's why Hawaii doesn't observe daylight savings time.

The world rotates east to west and Ohio is further west than N.C. thus still gets sun when N.C. is dark. Take a ball and shine a light on it. Put a dot for N.C. and one for Ohio. Then rotate the ball and see how the Ohio dot is still in the light when the N.C. is not. |

Time zones, how do they work?
If everybody everywhere just called 'noon' the point at which the sun was most directly overhead no one would ever be able to coordinate anything with anyone who didn't live in the same town. |
