One Minute More

It is not the equinox for a few more days, but look at the sunrise and sunset times on the weather station today:
I don't know exactly how that works, but today we apparently had 12 hours and 1 minute of day, and 11 hours and 59 minutes of night. What will we get on the equinox, then?

It's a mystery to me!

An interesting question worthy of investigation. It's about latitude. https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/equinox-not-equal.html
