Did You Know?

A Monument as Tall as It Is Wide

The Gateway Arch is 192 metres tall and 192 metres wide at the base — a weighted catenary curve, completed in 1965. Its two legs were built separately and had to meet within about a millimetre; crews sprayed the south leg with water to keep thermal expansion in check.

The clock: St. Louis keeps Central Time and marks the point where westward expansion was organised — the Lewis and Clark expedition set out from here in 1804.

St. Louis lies at 90.2°W. Its time zone, UTC−6, is built around the 90°W meridian. The two very nearly coincide: solar noon — the moment the sun is highest — falls at about 12:01, 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 61 minutes and pushing solar noon to 13:01.

The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 14h 52m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 9h 28m. The swing between them is 5h 24m. 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 St. Louis the sun comes up earliest on 15 June at 05:35, while the latest sunset waits until 29 June at 20:29. 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 St. Louis that civil twilight runs about 26 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 32 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.
