Astana is the capital of Kazakhstan, with a population of about 1,544,142. It uses the Kazakhstan Time time zone (IANA identifier Asia/Almaty).
Astana does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC+5 all year round. The time difference with places that do change their clocks — such as most of Europe and North America — therefore shifts by one hour twice a year.
Other cities on the same clock include Almaty.
Because Astana lies at 51.18° N, 71.45° E, the length of the day changes strongly through the year: around the June solstice there are about 16 h 35 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 7 h 53 min.
