Prayer times in Kentucky change noticeably between the seasons. Around the summer solstice (21 June) Fajr is at around 4:44 AM and Maghrib at 9:06 PM, for a day of 14 h 50 min.

Kentucky is 686 km from the capital, towards the west. That is why we calculate each place with its own coordinates rather than using one timetable for the whole country.
