Are hours earlier or later to the west of each time zone?

The hours are earlier to the west of each time zone.


Is the time in New York City earlier or later than in San Francisco?

Later by 3 hours. The mainland U.S. has four time zones (Alaska and Hawaii each have their own time zones, which makes a total of 6 different time zones for the U.S.). From west to east, the mainland U.S.'s time zones are: Pacific Time, Mountain Time, Central Time and Eastern Time. Each is one hour later than the last. For example, if it's 3 PM Pacific Time, then it's 4 PM Mountain Time, 5 PM Central Time and 6 PM Eastern Time. New York City is on Eastern Time. San Francisco is on Pacific Time. So, New York City is 3 hours later than San Francisco, and San Francisco is 3 hours earlier than New York City.


When Daylight Saving Time ends will the sun rise earlier- Will it be brighter earlier anddarker earlier?

NO. The sun is out for the most hours a day on June 21st. & for the fewest hours a day on December 21st. After December 21st. each day gets a little longer with sunlight thru June 21st. After June 21st. each day gets shorter thru December 21st. & repeats this cycle every year.The time you see on a clock has nothing to do with how many hours in a day the sun is out.


How many hours is eastern from central time?

The question needs to be rephrased. Standard time refers to when each time zone observes time based the number of hours assigned to that zone, plus or minus, from Greenwich Mean Time, and without any adjustment for summer hours. Central time refers to a particular time zone in the U.S. that is assigned 6 hours behind GMT for its standard time. GMT doesn't move forward or backward based on the seasons so it serves as a constant reference basis for all other time zones. So in this example, standard time for the Central time zone is 6 hours earlier than GMT. However, in the summer, when clocks are advanced one hour in most of the U.S., the Central time zone is observing Daylight time so it is only 5 hours earlier than GMT. Similarly the Eastern time zone in the U.S. is assigned a standard time of 5 hours earlier than GMT but it's only 4 hours earlier during the summer when clocks are moved forward. So, when it's 11 a.m. GMT it would be 6 a.m. EST or 7 a.m. EDT.

Is a timezone natural or man made?

Time zones are entirely man made. Some countries or states get by without them, whereas adjacent regions do have them.The natural part is just that the Sun gets to lands in the west later in the day, but (apart from polar regions) all places "will have their place in the sun" each day.a timezone is natural

What time would it be in the western hemisphere at 5 in the eastern hemisphere?

The eastern and western hemispheres are each 12 hours wide, and along half of the boundary between them, the day changes. So, depending on what point you pick in each hemisphere, the time in the western hemisphere could be anywhere from 12 hours earlier to 23 hours earlier than the time in the eastern one.
