Longest and shortest day are the June and December solstice day lengths at each city's own coordinates. Sun vs. clock is how far mean solar noon falls from 12:00 standard time — negative means the Sun peaks before the clock says noon.

Sunrise and Sunset in Hawaii
The 10 Hawaii cities listed here span 1.8° of latitude, from Hilo in the south (19.7°N) to Mililani Town in the north (21.4°N). On the June solstice that puts about 13h 26m of daylight over Mililani Town against 13h 19m over Hilo — a 7m difference inside one state. In December the gap reverses, and the southern cities are the ones holding more light.
The median Hawaii city swings 2h 36m between the solstices against a national median of 5h 16m, so Hawaii has a 2h 40m gentler year of daylight than a typical American city.
Seasons bite hardest in Mililani Town, where daylight swings 2h 37m between the solstices, and least in Hilo at 2h 23m. The table above lists both figures for every city, so you can see where any town falls between those two extremes.
Hawaii sits entirely in Hawaii Time (no daylight saving). Longitude decides how a city's clock lines up with its Sun: Ewa Gentry sits furthest west inside its zone, which puts mean solar noon about 32 minutes after clock noon and gives it the state's latest-running evenings for its longitude.
Each city page carries that city's full profile: today's sunrise and sunset on a live tracker, a twelve-month table of times, the dates of the year's earliest and latest sunsets, the Sun's midday height by season, a golden-hour calendar, clear-sky solar-energy figures, and where the city ranks against the rest of the country.
