The Biggest Little City

Reno's arch has read The Biggest Little City in the World since 1929. For most of the 20th century the city's economy rested on Nevada's six-week residency requirement for divorce, the shortest in the country.

The clock: Reno keeps Pacific Time and sits further west than Los Angeles — a geographic fact most people get wrong.

Reno lies at 119.8°W. Its time zone, UTC−8, is built around the 120°W meridian. The two very nearly coincide: solar noon — the moment the sun is highest — falls at about 11:59, 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 59 minutes and pushing solar noon to 12:59.

The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 14h 58m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 9h 22m. The swing between them is 5h 36m. 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 Reno the sun comes up earliest on 15 June at 05:31, while the latest sunset waits until 29 June at 20:31. 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 Reno that civil twilight runs about 27 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 33 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.
