Sunrise, Sunset for September 26-27 2013


Facts: On September 26, 2013 the Sun rose at 7:05 AM and will set at 7:02 PM. On September 27, the Sun will rise at 7:07 AM.

Question: How long is the day on September 26 and how long is the night of September 26-27?

-----------------------------
Hints: for mathematical methods for time, see the posting with title Equinox. Once you have done the calculation, the results will make sense; the day will be 11 hours and 50-some minutes, the night will be 12 hours and some minutes. Just look closely at the sunrise and sunset times.

From now until the Winter Solstice on December 21 2013, the days will be getting shorter and the nights will be getting longer.
