About sunrise in North Carolina
The sun reaches Greenville 21 minutes before Asheville 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. North Carolina keeps a single time zone, so the clock times below are directly comparable.
