I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Smoke, I'm with you.

The best examples, or should I say experiences, come on crise ships. Leaving Southampton and arriving Dublin 2 days later one enjoys a few extra minutes of daylight.

Sunset is always 4 minutes later for every degree of longitude that one travels west at the same latitude. If you moved west and also changed your latitude then sunset time would change by both longitude transport and also by sun altitude for latitude change.
