Is every time zone 1 hour? ›

There are 24 regions (Time Zones) around the world with a time difference of one hour. This system has been adopted internationally by setting the total time difference around the world as 24 hours. Further, Daylight Saving Time (DST) is individually adopted in countries and regions.

There are actually six time zones in the USA. The four main ones are Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific Standard Time. The two others are Alaska Standard Time and Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time, observed only by Alaska and Hawaii respectively.

United States: Tokyo is 13 hours ahead of the US UU. Canada: Tokyo is 13 hours ahead of Canada. Italy: Tokyo is 7 hours ahead of Italy. France: Tokyo is 7 hours ahead of France.

None if you compare time with all the USA 50 States. American Samoa is the only contender for the comparison year round and Kiribati, Tonga as well New Zealand (for Tokelau) are all 24 hours ahead of American Samoa all year round.

Russia was divided into eleven time zones in 1919, after the Bolshevik Revolution. Russia is a huge country by area expanding from east to west in the northern hemisphere and therefore, the country felt the need to adopt 11 time zones. The time in Russia ranges from UTC+02:00 to UTC+12:00.

None of the 50 US states have three time zones. However, there are some states with two time zones. These are: Alaska (Alaska and Hawaii-Aleutian)

China has one time zone. It is officially called China Standard Time (CST). It is 8 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC+08:00). There is no daylight saving time.

It is also referred to as the "latest time zone" on Earth, as clocks in it always show the 'latest' (i.e., most advanced) time of all time zones. UTC+14:00 stretches as far as 30° east of the 180° longitude line and creates a large fold in the International Date Line around the Pacific nation of Kiribati.

There are six time zones in the US main country. The 50 US states are spread across the six standard time zones. With dependencies (inhabited and uninhabited), however, the total count comes to 11 time zones.

Theoretically, each 1-hour time zone is 15 degrees wide, indicating a 1-hour difference in mean solar time. This can be seen as the white and gray stripes on our Time Zone Map and in the image above.

Ideally, time zones would be slices of Earth's surface 15 degrees of longitude wide that keep the same time. However, some countries and parts of countries have decided that being within a specific time zone is not preferable and have chosen offsets of 30 minutes or even 45 minutes.

At the equator, the time zones are a little over 1,000 miles (1,609 km) apart, so to cross one every hour, your plane would have to fly at over 1,000 miles per hour (1,609 kph). If you started flying at 12:00 noon, at 1:00 p.m. (according to your watch) you would cross a time zone, making it 12:00 noon again.

Half-hour time zones

There are a few countries which decided to adhere to this particular time of time zone, such as Iran, which runs on GMT+3:30. India, too, runs on UTC+5:30 (GMT+5:30). Some other examples are Afghanistan, running on GMT+4:30 and Burma, which uses GMT+6:30.
