Newark Liberty opened in 1928 as the first major airport serving New York and was the busiest commercial airport in the world for several years. It had the first paved runway of any US commercial airport and, in 1935, the first air route traffic control centre.
The clock: Newark keeps Eastern Time. Its port complex handles the largest container volume on the US east coast.
Newark lies at 74.2°W. Its time zone, UTC−5, is built around the 75°W meridian. The two very nearly coincide: solar noon — the moment the sun is highest — falls at about 11:57, which is as close to true solar time as a zone this wide can get. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 57 minutes and pushing solar noon to 12:57.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 15h 6m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 9h 15m. The swing between them is 5h 51m. 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 Newark the sun comes up earliest on 15 June at 05:24, while the latest sunset waits until 29 June at 20:32. 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 Newark that civil twilight runs about 27 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 33 minutes at the solstice.
