Marlborough lies 601 km north-east of Washington D.C., so Dhuhr in Marlborough is called about 22 minutes earlier than in Washington D.C. The gap is due to longitude: every degree of longitude shifts solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital is not accurate in Marlborough.
