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 Rhode Island
The 6 Rhode Island cities listed here span 0.3° of latitude, from Warwick in the south (41.7°N) to Woonsocket in the north (42.0°N). On the June solstice that puts about 15h 15m of daylight over Woonsocket against 15h 13m over Warwick — a 2m difference inside one state. In December the gap reverses, and the southern cities are the ones holding more light.
The median Rhode Island city swings 6h 5m between the solstices against a national median of 5h 16m, so seasons here move the clock 49m more than they do in a typical American city.
Seasons bite hardest in Woonsocket, where daylight swings 6h 8m between the solstices, and least in Warwick at 6h 4m. The table above lists both figures for every city, so you can see where any town falls between those two extremes.
Rhode Island 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.
