About sunrise in Tennessee

The sun reaches Johnson City 30 minutes before Memphis 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. Tennessee also spans 2 time zones, so two cities can see the sun at the same instant and read different clock times.

Middle and West Tennessee, including Nashville and Memphis, are on Central Time. East Tennessee, including Knoxville and Chattanooga, keeps Eastern Time.
