🌐 Understanding Timezones

Timezones are regions of the Earth that use the same standard time. The world is divided into 24 main timezones, each offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC):

⏰ UTC Offsets

• UTC+0 (Greenwich Mean Time) - The prime meridian and reference point
• UTC+/-1 to UTC+/-12 - Timezones east and west of the prime meridian
• Half-hour offsets - Some regions use UTC offsets like UTC+5:30 or UTC+9:30

☀️ Daylight Saving Time (DST)

Many countries observe daylight saving time, moving clocks forward 1 hour in spring and back 1 hour in fall. This is why the same timezone may have different UTC offsets depending on the time of year.

🌍 Major Timezone Groups

• Eastern Time (ET): UTC-5 (EST) or UTC-4 (EDT)
• Central Time (CT): UTC-6 (CST) or UTC-5 (CDT)
• Mountain Time (MT): UTC-7 (MST) or UTC-6 (MDT)
• Pacific Time (PT): UTC-8 (PST) or UTC-7 (PDT)
• Greenwich Mean Time (GMT): UTC+0
• Central European Time (CET): UTC+1 or UTC+2 (CEST)
