Length of Day on July 4 2014

On July 4 2014 the Sun will rise in Minneapolis at 5:32 AM and set at 9:03 PM. How long will the day be, in hours and minutes?

Readers will recall that the longest day of 2014, on the summer solstice, was 15 hours and 37 minutes long. You can go to the post archive, to the right, click on June and find the post and the time arithmetic.

You will find that the day on July the 4th will be minutes shorter. Hint: you can count how many minutes on the fingers of two hands.

Fireworks will occur about an hour after sunset: I hope all readers have a happy 4th!
