Omaha lies at 95.9°W. Its time zone, UTC−6, is built around the 90°W meridian. The 5.9° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 24 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:24 rather than 12:00.

The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Omaha the sun comes up earliest on 15 June at 05:50, while the latest sunset waits until 29 June at 21:01. 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.
