Clock time and sun time in Vladivostok
A time zone is an agreement, and the sun does not follow it exactly. Khabarovsk, the largest city in this zone, lies at about 135.1° east. Each degree of longitude is worth four minutes, so by the sun alone its time would be about 9 hours ahead of UTC. The clock is set to UTC+10. The sun is therefore highest in the sky at about 1:00 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 Khabarovsk, 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
Khabarovsk is about 48.5° north of the equator. On the longest day of the year, around 21 June, the sun is up for about 16 hours 7 minutes. On the shortest, around 21 December, for about 8 hours 18 minutes. That is a swing of about 7 hours 49 minutes between summer and winter, yet the clocks here stay the same all year.
Office hours shared with other places
If both sides work from 9 am to 6 pm, these are the hours when a call falls inside the working day at both ends. Times are for Vladivostok.
