Time Zone
A time zone is an area which observes a uniform standard time for legal, commercial and social purposes. Time zones tend to follow the boundaries between countries and their subdivisions instead of strictly following longitude, because it is convenient for areas in frequent communication to keep the same time. All time zones are defined as offsets from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), ranging from UTC−12:00 to UTC+14:00. The offsets are usually a whole number of hours, but a few zones are offset by an additional 30 or 45 minutes, such as in India, South Australia and Nepal. Some areas of higher latitude use daylight saving time for about half of the year, typically by adding one hour to local time during spring and summer. List of UTC offsets In the table below, the locations that use daylight saving time (DST) are listed in their UTC offset when DST is ''not'' in effect. When DST is in effect, approximately during spring and summer, their UTC offset ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
