Time Zone Information
Time zones are regions of the Earth that have the same standard time. The Earth is divided into 24 time zones, each approximately 15 degrees of longitude wide, corresponding to one hour of time difference. Here are key time zone concepts:
UTC (Coordinated Universal Time)
The primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It is within about 1 second of mean solar time at 0° longitude.
Daylight Saving Time (DST)
The practice of advancing clocks during warmer months so that darkness falls later. Not all regions observe DST.
IANA Time Zones
Standardized time zone database used by many computer systems. Includes historical and future time zone changes.
