About this clock
Maricopa does not change its clocks
Maricopa stays on Mountain Standard Time all year and does not move its clocks. Its offset from UTC never changes, so its relationship to the rest of the country shifts twice a year instead.
Maricopa sits at 33.04°N, 112.00°W. For sunrise and sunset there — which do depend on exactly where it is, unlike the clock — see sunrise and sunset in Maricopa.
Clock time against sun time
The clock says the same thing everywhere in Mountain Standard Time, but the sun does not. Over Maricopa it is highest at 12:12 pm today — 12 minutes after clock noon.
At 112.0°W, Maricopa sits 28 minutes of solar time west of Mountain Standard Time’s 105° meridian, so on standard time the sun peaks 28 minutes after noon.
