Understanding Time Zones

The world is divided into 24 time zones, each roughly 15 degrees of longitude wide. UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) serves as the global time standard, with other time zones expressed as offsets from UTC. For example, Eastern Standard Time (EST) is UTC-5, meaning it is 5 hours behind UTC, while Japan Standard Time (JST) is UTC+9.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a world clock?

A world clock displays the current time in multiple cities and timezones around the globe. It helps you keep track of time differences when communicating with people in different parts of the world, scheduling international meetings, or planning travel.

How many time zones are there in the world?

There are 24 standard time zones in the world, each representing one hour. However, some countries use half-hour or quarter-hour offsets, such as India (UTC+5:30), Nepal (UTC+5:45), and parts of Australia. This means there are actually over 30 unique time offsets in use worldwide.

What is UTC and why is it important?

UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It is the same as GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) and serves as the baseline for all other timezones. For example, New York is UTC-5 (5 hours behind UTC), while Tokyo is UTC+9 (9 hours ahead of UTC).

Does the world clock account for daylight saving time?

Yes! Our world clock automatically accounts for daylight saving time (DST) changes in each timezone. The times displayed are always current and accurate, reflecting any DST adjustments that may be in effect for each location.

What is the time difference between EST and PST?

EST (Eastern Standard Time) is 3 hours ahead of PST (Pacific Standard Time). When it is 12:00 PM in New York (EST), it is 9:00 AM in Los Angeles (PST). Both time zones observe daylight saving time, so this difference remains constant throughout the year.
