What Are Time Zones?
Time zones are regions of the Earth that have the same standard time.
They are crucial for maintaining a uniform standard of time across different areas.
Each time zone is usually one hour apart from the next, and the Earth’s longitudinal lines define them.
Why Are Time Zones Important?
- Global Communication: Time zones are essential for coordinating communication across different parts of the world.
- Travel Planning: Knowing the time zone of your destination helps in planning your travel itinerary.
- Business Operations: Companies operating in multiple time zones can synchronize their operations and meetings.
- Personal Scheduling: Keeping track of time zones is useful for personal scheduling, especially for virtual meetings and events.

Understanding Time Zones:
Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time
Most time zones follow a standard time throughout the year. However, some regions observe Daylight Saving Time (DST) to make better use of daylight during the evenings.
DST typically involves moving the clock forward by one hour during the warmer months and reverting to standard time in the colder months.
Major Time Zones Around the World
- UTC (Coordinated Universal Time): The primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It is not adjusted for DST.
- GMT (Greenwich Mean Time): Time zone at the Prime Meridian (0° longitude), often interchanged with UTC.
- EST (Eastern Standard Time): UTC-5, used in the Eastern part of the United States.
- PST (Pacific Standard Time): UTC-8, used in the Western part of the United States.
- CET (Central European Time): UTC+1, used in many parts of Europe.
- IST (Indian Standard Time): UTC+5:30, used in India.
- JST (Japan Standard Time): UTC+9, used in Japan.
