Best Answer

Without the equation of time offset, solar noon (the time when the sun is at its highest point) at New York City would be at 11:56 AM EST/ 12:56 PM EDT/ 4:56 PM UTC.

Although we measure days as periods of 24 hours, the lengths of actual days vary a little due to the elipticity of Earth's orbit and the angle between Earth's rotational axis and the plane of Earth's orbit. The equation of time offset is the difference between 12 noon on a clock set to local mean time and the actual middle of the day. The offset ranges from -14.249 minutes to +16.477 minutes.

So actual solar noon at New York City varies between 11:39 AM EST/ 12:39 PM EDT/ 4:39 PM UTC and 12:10 PM EST/ 1:10 PM EDT/ 5:10 PM UTC.

Does the sun rise earlier in Florida or New York?

No, not really. Although both New York and Florida are in the same time zone, New York is a bit further east so gets the first rays from the morning sun before Florida; conversely, Florida will still have a bit of daylight when New York has slipped into evening.
