As a tennis player, I often need to know when sunset will be (since the outdoor courts where I play don't have lights). Conveniently, Siri can tell me the time of sunrise and sunset. You cannot only find the time for today but also for any day of the next week. (Note, however, that Siri won't give you information for dates in the past.)

How to Reschedule Appointments by Dragging and Dropping Calendar Events

How to Change the Default Reminder Time in Calendar
By Paula Bostrom
The Calendar app is incredibly convenient for keeping track of appointments, events, and even birthdays. It’s also a great tool for helping you remember those appointments, events, and birthdays.

That’s why Apple made it easy to change the setting for when the Calendar will alert you for an event.
