Understanding Time Zones
Time zones are regions on Earth that have a uniform standard time for legal, commercial, and social purposes. They are typically offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) by whole hours.
Common time zones include UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), EST (Eastern Standard Time), CST (Central Standard Time), MST (Mountain Standard Time), and PST (Pacific Standard Time).
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is UTC?
- UTC stands for Coordinated Universal Time and is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It's the basis for all other time zones.
- How do I calculate time zone differences?
- Time zone differences are calculated by the offset from UTC. For example, EST is UTC-5 hours, meaning it's 5 hours behind UTC.
