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 New Hampshire
The 6 New Hampshire cities listed here span 0.5° of latitude, from Nashua in the south (42.7°N) to Rochester in the north (43.3°N). On the June solstice that puts about 15h 24m of daylight over Rochester against 15h 20m over Nashua — a 4m difference inside one state. In December the gap reverses, and the southern cities are the ones holding more light.
The median New Hampshire city swings 6h 23m between the solstices against a national median of 5h 16m, so seasons here move the clock 1h 7m more than they do in a typical American city.
Seasons bite hardest in Rochester, where daylight swings 6h 26m between the solstices, and least in Nashua at 6h 18m. The table above lists both figures for every city, so you can see where any town falls between those two extremes.
New Hampshire sits entirely in Eastern Time. Longitude still decides how each city's clock lines up with its Sun — every city page states that offset explicitly.
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.
