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 Puerto Rico
The 13 Puerto Rico cities listed here span 0.4° of latitude, from Ponce in the south (18.0°N) to Arecibo in the north (18.4°N). On the June solstice that puts about 13h 14m of daylight over Arecibo against 13h 13m over Ponce — a 2m difference inside one state. In December the gap reverses, and the southern cities are the ones holding more light.
The median Puerto Rico city swings 2h 12m between the solstices against a national median of 5h 16m, so Puerto Rico has a 3h 4m gentler year of daylight than a typical American city.
Seasons bite hardest in Arecibo, where daylight swings 2h 13m between the solstices, and least in Ponce at 2h 10m. The table above lists both figures for every city, so you can see where any town falls between those two extremes.
Puerto Rico sits entirely in Atlantic Time (no daylight saving). Longitude decides how a city's clock lines up with its Sun: Aguadilla sits furthest west inside its zone, which puts mean solar noon about 29 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.
