Chapel Hill is located 376 km south-west of Washington D.C., so Dhuhr in Chapel Hill is called about 8 minutes later than in Washington D.C. The gap is due to longitude: each degree moves solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital should not be used in Chapel Hill.
