About sunrise in Nebraska
The sun reaches Bellevue 19 minutes before North Platte 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. Nebraska also spans 2 time zones, so two cities can see the sun at the same instant and read different clock times.
Eastern Nebraska, including Omaha and Lincoln, is on Central Time. The western panhandle, including Scottsbluff, keeps Mountain Time.
