An alternative is the lubridate() package if you use tidyverse.

Check the data for daylight savings time. Twice per year Virginia changes time where in the Fall clocks are shifted back an hour and in the Spring they jump forwards an hour.

Maybe this [1] will help? Or just read ?strptime...

You can also calculate sunrise/sunset (crepuscule) using maptools, but you need to be careful with timezones.

I am seeking the syntax to direct R to read in these dates and times, and then graphical plot the sunrise and sunset times for each day in the year 2022. How do I tell R that I store the Sunrise Date and Time like this?
