Re: a dum question
Dont forget that Latitude also has to be taken into concideration. Here in Rochester NY:Sun Rise: 5:42am Sun Set: 8:31pm, but due south of here in Richmond VA:Sun Rise: 5:57am Sun Set: 8:15pm. We got 30 minutes more sunlight here just because we are 500 miles further north.
Another thing to think about is twilight. It is actually light outside before the sun rises and it is still light outside after the sun goes down.

Re: a dum question
You have to consider the longitude as well as the latitude. It will get dark earlier on the east side of a time zone than it will on the west side. Compare Birmingham, AL with Dallas, TX (both approximately the same latitude).

Isn't the twilight longer in more northern latitudes during the summer as well?
