Where these times come from

All times are calculated astronomically for Macapá (0.03° N, 51.07° W) and shown in the local time zone (America/Belem, UTC-3). Sunrise and sunset refer to the moment the upper edge of the Sun touches the horizon, already counting atmospheric refraction. They refer to the state capital; elsewhere in Amapá the times differ. Each degree of longitude to the east or west moves solar time by about 4 minutes, so inland towns can see the Sun rise noticeably earlier or later than the capital, and a place at a different latitude has a slightly different day length. Values are accurate to within about a minute.
