how many states live in two different time zones?
445783
Looks like 10: FL, IN, TN, KY, ND, SD, NE, KS, ID and OR.

A time zone is a region of the Earth that has adopted the same standard time, usually referred to as the local time. Most time zones are exactly one hour apart, and by convention compute their local time as an offest from Greenwich Mean Time.\n\nStandard time zones can be defined by geometrically subdividing the Earth's spheroid into 24 lunes (wedge-shaped sections), bordered by meridians each 15° of longitude apart. The local time in neighbouring zones is then exactly one hour different. However, political and geographical practicalities can result in irregularly-shaped zones that follow political boundaries or that change their time seasonally (as with daylight saving time), as well as being subject to occasional redefinition as political conditions change.\n\nThere are different definitions of time zone which generally fall into two meanings: a time zone can represent a region where the local time is some fixed offset from a global reference (usually UTC), or a time zone can represent a region throughout which the local time is always consistent even though the offset may fluctuate seasonally.\n\nGreenwich Mean Time (GMT) was established in 1675 as an aid to determine longitude at sea by mariners. The first time zone in the world was established by British railways on December 1, 1847 — with GMT hand-carried on chronometers. About August 23, 1852, time signals were first transmitted by telegraph from the Royal Greenwich Observatory. Even though 98% of Great Britain's public clocks were using GMT by 1855, it was not made Britain's legal time until August 2, 1880. Some old clocks from this period have two minute hands — one for the local time, one for GMT [1]. This only applied to the island of Great Britain, and not to the island of Ireland.\n\nOn November 2, 1868, New Zealand (then a British colony) officially adopted a standard time to be observed throughout the colony, and was perhaps the first country to do so. It was based on the longitude 172° 30' East of Greenwich, that is 11 hours 30 minutes ahead of GMT. This standard was known as New Zealand Mean Time.\n\nTimekeeping on the American railroads in the mid nineteenth century was somewhat confused. Each railroad used its own standard time, usually based on the local time of its headquarters or most important terminus, and the railroad's train schedules were published using its own time. Some major railroad junctions served by several different railroads had a separate clock for each railroad, each showing a different time. The Pittsburgh main station used six different times! The confusion for travellers making a long journey involving several changes of train can be imagined

You're in the eastern time zone. If you want to see for yourself go here:\n\nhttp://www.time.gov/index.html

eastern time is a zone in which all cities have the same time.  it is one hour later than central time.  for example, if it's 2:00 in Boston (in the eastern time zone), it's only 1:00 in Minneapolis, in the Central time zone... the mountain and pacific time zones are 1 and 2 hours earlier, respectively.

east coast (3 hrs ahead of pacific coast, 2 hrs ahead of mountain time, 1 hr ahead of central)

Ohio is eastern time.. Montana is mountain time.. so 1:00 in Ohio is 3:00 in Montana.. \nfor future reference.. \n1:00 in the eastern time zone [New York]\n2:00 in the central time zone [Chicago]\n3:00 in the mountain time zone[Colorado]\n4:00 in the pacific time zone [California]\n6:00 in Hawaii

There are a total of 50 states.  There are the 48 continental states and Alaska and Hawaii.  The United States also has six territories and the District of Columbia.

It is the time zone covering the central-western states, near the rocky mountains.  It is two hours behind Eastern Time, so when it's Noon in New York, it's 10am in Denver.

Actually there is a nine-hour time difference between France and California, not eight hours as "thepenismightier" has suggested.\nYikes, I got a `thumbs down' for a correct answer!

Pacific Standard Time. It is the time zone of the west cost of the USA.

Since there are 27 integer time zones (from GMT - 12 hours to GMT + 14 hours), there's no way the whole world can have the same date at the same time, because there will always be points that are more than 24 hours apart, and those points (at least) will be in different days.

Here's a cool way to get a good estimate:\n\nFind the time difference between each city and multiply by 1,041 and you will have a close guestimate.\n\nReason? The Earth is approx 25,000 miles at the equater but divided into 24 time zones.  That makes each time zone about 1,041 miles apart.

(m)\n\nThe time zones of the United States are standardized by Congress and although the lines were drawn to avoid populated areas, sometimes they've been moved to avoid complication. There are nine time zones in the U.S. and its territories, they include Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific, Alaska, Hawaii-Aleutian, Samoa, Wake Island, and Guam.\n\nstandard time in the 7th time zone west of Greenwich, reckoned at the 105th meridian west; used in the mountain states of the United States \n\nThe Mountain Standard Time Zone (MST) is a geographic region that keeps time by subtracting seven hours from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). In the United States, the following states are part of the Mountain Standard Time Zone: *New Mexico*Wyoming*Utah*Colorado*Montana

Japan is GMT +9 and Arizona is GMT -7. Add on 7 hours to get GMT and then add on the extra 9 hours and so you get 4 AM the following day.\n\nHope this helps,\n\nSupreme One
