The time of sunrise and sunset is very dependent on the precise location and the date in question. Please re-post your question with the date and the city name or ZIP code. If you add the WikiAnswers category "Sunset Times", I'll see it.
You can calculate the time of sunrise and sunset easily by visiting the United States Naval Observatory web site's Sunrise & Sunset calculator. You will need the date, city and state for US locations, or the date, latitude, longitude and time zone for any other locations in the world.

Areas farther north or south of the equator receive less sunlight because the angle of the sun's rays is lower, spreading out the energy over a wider area. This results in cooler temperatures and shorter days in those regions, especially during winter months.
