Clock time and sun time in Omsk
A time zone is an agreement, and the sun does not follow it exactly. Omsk, the largest city in this zone, lies at about 73.4° east. Each degree of longitude is worth four minutes, so by the sun alone its time would be about 4 hours 53 minutes ahead of UTC. The clock is set to UTC+6. The sun is therefore highest in the sky at about 1:07 pm by the clock, not at 12:00. The clock runs ahead of the sun here, which means later sunrises and lighter evenings than the map alone would give. Other places in the zone, to the east or west of Omsk, 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
Omsk is about 55° north of the equator. On the longest day of the year, around 21 June, the sun is up for about 17 hours 22 minutes. On the shortest, around 21 December, for about 7 hours 10 minutes. That is a swing of about 10 hours 12 minutes between summer and winter, yet the clocks here stay the same all year.
