2 of the time zones of United States have no clock changes in the years shown: Hawaii Time (Honolulu), Mountain Time, no DST (Phoenix).
Computed from the IANA time zone database, the same source your operating system uses. Dates in future years follow the rules in force today; daylight saving law is set by governments and does change, sometimes at a few months' notice.
Sunrise and sunset in United States through the year
Typical times at each zone's reference point, in that zone's local clock. Year-to-year drift is under a couple of minutes; dates near a daylight saving change can shift the clock reading by an hour.
