Today, measured from Ecuador's geographic center, sunrise is at 06:09 AM and sunset is at 06:16 PM, giving a day length of 12h 6m. See the Sunrise & Sunset panel above. Note that a large country may span several time zones or sunrise/sunset times depending on the region.
Ecuador's geographic center is approximately 204 km (127 mi) from the Equator, in the southern hemisphere, and about 8,699 km from the Prime Meridian. See the Global Position panel above for the full breakdown.
The antipodal point of Ecuador's geographic center — the spot exactly opposite it through the Earth's core — falls nearest to Kador, Indonesia, roughly 27 km from the true antipode. Since about 71% of the Earth's surface is ocean, most antipodal points land in open water rather than on a named place.
Quito sits approximately 182 km (113 mi) S of Ecuador's geographic center. See the capital centrality card above for the full figure.
