Quito is located at 0.18°S, 78.47°W. Its latitude determines how dramatically daylight hours change through the year.
The city uses the America/Guayaquil timezone (GMT-5). It does not observe Daylight Saving Time, so solar times shift gradually through the year without abrupt clock changes.
Solar noon — the moment the sun reaches its highest point in the sky — occurs when the sun crosses the local meridian. In Quito this falls around 12:13 in mid-summer and 12:04 in December, reflecting UTC offset and any DST adjustments.
