Concepción has been relocated or rebuilt after four major earthquakes and tsunamis since 1550. The 2010 quake, magnitude 8.8, moved the city about three metres west and, by NASA's calculations, shortened the Earth's day by roughly 1.26 microseconds.
The clock: Concepción keeps Chile's continental time. The shorter day of 2010 applied to the whole planet, and it was a calculated estimate, too small to be measured.
Concepción lies at 73.0°W. Its time zone, UTC−4, is built around the 60°W meridian. The 13.0° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 52 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:52 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 112 minutes and pushing solar noon to 13:52.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 December, with 14h 41m of daylight. The shortest is 22 June, with 9h 38m. The swing between them is 5h 3m. This is the latitude band where the difference between summer and winter evenings is most obvious.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Concepción the sun comes up earliest on 8 December at 06:27, while the latest sunset waits until 6 January at 21:15. 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 Concepción that civil twilight runs about 26 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 31 minutes at the solstice.
Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
