If you board a plane in New York at 3 p.m. and fly west, you will arrive in San Francisco at 6:40 p.m., despite having been in the air for nearly seven hours. You seemed to travel back in time as you crossed the nation. You did, in a way. You crossed from one time zone to another during your flight. To comprehend how this works, you must first grasp how to convert between time zones.

Understanding Time Zones:

When people discuss time zones, they're talking to how individuals adjust their clocks as they move closer or farther away from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Every 15 degrees east of the Prime Meridian in Greenwich, London, time advances by one hour. A time zone is represented by each one-hour increment. It was 9:40 p.m. on the New York time clock when you landed in San Francisco at 6:40 p.m.

Why Did Countries Start Using Time Zones?

Time zones are a relatively new concept. The position of the sun used to be used to tell time. When the sun reached its highest point in the sky, each community set the official clock to noon. As a result, noon in Washington, D.C. occurred before to noon in Chicago.
When individuals first began using railroads to travel and transfer commodities across the United States, they discovered that local time was perplexing. Train schedules were difficult to organise. The country was divided into four time zones: eastern, central, mountain, and pacific. All of the clocks in each region displayed the same time.

Calculating Time Differences:

Calculating time differences is straightforward, using only basic addition and subtraction. As you move east, you add, and as you move west, you deduct. Eastern Standard Time is five time zones west of Greenwich Mean Time, therefore to get the time in New York, subtract five hours from UTC. Japan Standard Time is nine time zones east of Greenwich Mean Time, therefore to get the time in Tokyo, add nine hours to UTC.
If you're in Los Angeles and want to know what time it is in Paris, simply calculate the time zones between the two cities. They are separated by nine time zones. It is 10:00 p.m. in Paris while it is 1:00 p.m. in Los Angeles.
