The tz database partitions the world into regions where local clocks all show the same time. This map was made by combining version 2023d with OpenStreetMap data, using open source software. [1] This is a list of time zones from release 2025a of the tz database. [2]
By the Decree of 26 May 1911, a reform was approved regarding standard time in Portugal and in its overseas Empire: although most of continental Portugal is located west of the 7º 30'W meridian (i.e. in the theoretical zone of UTC-01:00 time zone), mainland Portugal adopted UTC+00:00 as its time zone.

Before the adoption of four standard time zones for the continental United States, many towns and cities set their clocks to noon when the sun passed their local meridian, pre-corrected for the equation of time on the date of observation, to form local mean solar time. Noon occurred at different times but time differences between distant ...
J transit is the Julian date for the local true solar transit (or solar noon). 2451545.0 is noon of the equivalent Julian year reference. 0.0053 sin M − 0.0069 sin ( 2 λ ) {\displaystyle 0.0053\sin M-0.0069\sin \left(2\lambda \right)} is a simplified version of the equation of time .
