How far apart are each time zone?

Answer 1

There is normally 15 degrees of longitude between each time zone. Okay... That's the answer that the teachers want in the classroom, but it really only applies "out there" in the middle of the Atlantic, Pacific, Southern or Indian oceans. For the rest of the "dry land" world the answer is much more complicated. ......Warning: Prepare to argue with your teacher! (Print this page if possible.) When crossing from one time zone to another the local time NORMALLY changes by one hour, or 60 minutes. BUT.... be aware that there are places in the world where time zones change by different numbers of minutes... 15, 30, 45, 90 and even 120 minutes! Examples: (and there are many, many more...) (1) When travelling from Columbia to Venezuela the time changes by 30 minutes, even though both countries share a border. (2) Iran is 30 minutes ahead of Iraq (on its western border) and 90 minutes behind Pakistan (on its eastern border) but all of Iran is just one time zone. (3) Napal is 15 minutes ahead of India but they share a border. (4) The South East corner of Western Australia is 45 minutes ahead of the rest of Western Australia. (5) And my favorite: Vladivostok, Russia is WEST of Japan but has a time zone one hour EARLIER than Japan! So when traveling east from, say, Mongolia you would change the clock AHEAD by 120 minutes (2 hours ) when you reach Vladivostok, Russia, then change your clock BACK one hour when you reach Japan. Strange, but true. TEACHER ADVISORY: Check out the Related Link below and see for yourself! {click on a region for a close-up map} http://www.worldtimezone.com/

Answer 2

Time zones are typically 15 degrees of longitude apart, which corresponds to one hour of time difference. This means that each time zone is roughly 1,000 miles wide at the equator, but the actual distance can vary depending on the geographic location and the shape of the time zone boundaries.

Answer 3

The time between zones is exactly 1 hour. For example, if you are in mountain time and it was 1:30 and you teleported to pacific time it would be 2:30. If you were in eastern time and it was 1:30 and you teleported to mountain time it would be 3:30. The order of the time zones from west to east is pacific,mountain,central,eastern.

Answer 4

The answer is: It depends.

If time zones were perfectly straight lines from pole to pole, they would be about 1050 miles apart at the equator and would all converge to a single point at the poles. However the lines run in zig-zags depending on the country or region.

Answer 5

There is usually 1 hour between time zones. For example right now it is 6:09 Alaska, 7:09 Pacific standard time, 8:09 Mountain, 9:09 Central, 10:09 Eastern, 11:09 Puerto Rico.

Answer 6

15 degrees, or about 1670 km (1038 miles) at the equator.

Answer 7

Each time zone is about 1000 miles from the next time zone.

Answer 8

The answer depends on the time zones. It is usually 1 hour but there are some time zones which differ from their neighbours by 30 minutes.
