Baton Rouge lies at 91.2°W. Its time zone, UTC−6, is built around the 90°W meridian. The 1.2° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 5 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:05 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 65 minutes and pushing solar noon to 13:05.

The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Baton Rouge the sun comes up earliest on 12 June at 06:02, while the latest sunset waits until 2 July at 20:11.

The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Baton Rouge that civil twilight runs about 24 minutes at the equinox.
