About sunrise in Kansas
The sun reaches Leawood 25 minutes before Liberal today — that gap is longitude, and it is fixed: the Earth turns fifteen degrees an hour, so every degree of longitude is four minutes of sunrise. Kansas also spans 2 time zones, so two cities can see the sun at the same instant and read different clock times.
Kansas is almost entirely Central Time. Four counties in the far west — Greeley, Hamilton, Sherman and Wallace — keep Mountain Time.
