Clock time and sun time in Coyhaique
A time zone is an agreement, and the sun does not follow it exactly. Coyhaique, the largest city in this zone, lies at about 72.1° west. Each degree of longitude is worth four minutes, so by the sun alone its time would be about 4 hours 48 minutes behind UTC. The clock is set to UTC−3. The sun is therefore highest in the sky at about 1:48 pm by the clock, not at 12:00. The clock runs more than an hour ahead of the sun here, one of the wider gaps in the world. Mornings stay dark late by the clock and evenings stay light. Other places in the zone, to the east or west of Coyhaique, see the sun peak a little earlier or later. Through the year the figure also drifts by up to a quarter of an hour either way.
How long the day is
Coyhaique is about 45.6° south of the equator. On the longest day of the year, around 21 December, the sun is up for about 15 hours 42 minutes. On the shortest, around 21 June, for about 8 hours 41 minutes. That is a swing of about 7 hours between summer and winter, yet the clocks here stay the same all year.
