The clock: Antofagasta keeps Chilean time. The region produces a large share of the world's copper.
Antofagasta lies at 70.4°W. Its time zone, UTC−4, is built around the 60°W meridian. The 10.4° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 42 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:42 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 102 minutes and pushing solar noon to 13:42.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 December, with 13h 36m of daylight. The shortest is 22 June, with 10h 40m. The swing between them is 2h 55m. At this latitude the seasons are visible in the clock, but never dramatic.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Antofagasta the sun comes up earliest on 30 November at 06:47, while the latest sunset waits until 14 January at 20:33. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Antofagasta that civil twilight runs about 23 minutes at the equinox.
