Pacific, Mountain, Central and Eastern. The four time zones are from West to East, and as you go East into another time zone, clocks move one hour ahead. Example: If it was 6:00 AM in San Fransisco (Pacific Time), it would be 9:00 AM in NYC (Eastern Time).
The Central Standard time zone lies between the Eastern Standard and Mountain Standard time zone.
In the contiguous United States, there are four time zones. Eastern Standard Time, Central Standard Time, Mountain Standard Time and Pacific Standard Time. Each time zone is separated one hour from the time zones that it borders. In this case, Central Standard Time (CST) is separated from Pacific Standard Time (PST) by the Mountain Standard Time (MST). Therefore the two time zones are two hours apart from each other.
the united states technically is involved in 6 time zones. -eastern standard time(est) -central standard time(cst) -mountain standard time(mst) -pacific standard time(pst) -Alaska standard time(akst) -aluetian standard time(ast) -Hawaii standard time(hst) these names refer to only the us naming of their time zones. exceptions may include New Mexico and Indiana for they do not use daylight saving time.
The continental United States includes five time zones. The time zones in the "contiguous" 48 states are Eastern Standard Time, Central Standard Time, Mountain Standard Time, and Pacific Standard Time. Alaska is in the "continental" U.S. and has Alaska Standard Time Zone. Hawaii is not in continental U.S. It uses Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time Zone.
PST refers to the time zone Pacific Standard Time. There are three other time zones in the contiguous United States including Mountain Standard Time, Central Standard Time, and Eastern Standard Time.

The answer depends on what country is being compared to the United States. Basically, the United States has several time zones including Eastern Standard, Central, Mountain, Pacific and Alaskan time.
From west to east, Pacific Standard Time (UTC-8)/ Pacific Daylight Saving Time (UTC-7) Mountain Standard Time (UTC-7)/ Mountain Daylight Saving Time (UTC-6) Central Standard Time (UTC-6)/ Central Daylight Saving Time (UTC-5) Eastern Standard Time (UTC-5)/ Eastern Daylight Saving Time (UTC-4) Most of the United States switches to Daylight Saving Time on the second Sunday of March and switches back to Standard Time on the first Sunday of November. The only part of the contiguous U.S. that keeps the same time all year (MST) is Arizona, with the exception of the Navaho Nation.
Time zones were officially established in the US on November 18, 1883 by the railroads in order to standardize schedules. This was known as the Standard Time Act, which divided the US into four time zones: Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific.
