The two extreme time zones on Earth (both in the mid-Pacific) differ by 26 hours. Standard Time Zones, as of January 2, 2024 In the following list, only the rightmost indent of a group of locations is meant to indicate the area observing the offset; the places above and to the left are meant solely to indicate the area's parent administrative ...
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]
Each zone line for a zone specifies, for a range of date and time, the offset to UTC for standard time, the name of the set of rules that govern daylight saving time (or a hyphen if standard time always applies), the format for time zone abbreviations, and, for all but the last zone line, the date and time at which the range of date and time ...
Time zones of the world. A time zone is an area which observes a uniform standard time for legal, commercial and social purposes. Time zones tend to follow the boundaries between countries and their subdivisions instead of strictly following longitude, because it is convenient for areas in frequent communication to keep the same time.

The Norwegian-Russian border and Belarus–Poland border are the only places where CET (UTC+1) borders Moscow time , resulting in a one (or two in winter) hour time change when crossing that border. There is a "tri-zone" point (where UTC+01:00 , UTC+02:00 , and UTC+03:00 meet) at the Norway-Finland-Russia tripoint , near the town of Rayakoski .
Software timekeeping systems vary widely in the resolution of time measurement; some systems may use time units as large as a day, while others may use nanoseconds.For example, for an epoch date of midnight UTC (00:00) on 1 January 1900, and a time unit of a second, the time of the midnight (24:00) between 1 January 1900 and 2 January 1900 is represented by the number 86400, the number of ...
The most extreme example of this is time in China, which applies a single standard time offset of UTC+08:00 (eight hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time), even though China spans five geographical time zones. The UTC offset (or time offset) is an amount of time added to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) time to specify the time at a given ...
