Niagara Falls lies 497 km north of Washington D.C., so Dhuhr in Niagara Falls is called roughly 8 minutes later 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 Niagara Falls.
