Not according to my globe. No, the time in Tonga is UTC + 13 hours, which is 3 hours ahead of Australian Eastern Standard Time and 2 hours ahead of Eastern Summer Time. Places that always have the same time as Tonga are the Phoenix Islands of Kiribati, Samoa and Tokelau.
Tonga is typically 1 hour behind New Zealand during New Zealand's standard time (NZST) but is in the same time zone as New Zealand during Daylight Saving Time (NZDT), when New Zealand moves one hour ahead. During the NZDT period (from late September to early April), Tonga and New Zealand are in the same time zone. When New Zealand is on standard time, Tonga is one hour behind.
Tonga and America can have the same time but different dates due to their positions relative to the International Date Line (IDL). Tonga is located just west of the IDL, while many parts of America, especially in the Pacific Time Zone, are east of it. As the Earth rotates, when it's midnight in Tonga, it may still be the previous day in parts of America. This creates a situation where the clock shows the same time, but the calendar date differs.
Because the time begins in Tonga (International Date Line).

Tahiti is typically 1 hour behind Tonga. While Tahiti operates on Tahiti Time (TAHT), which is UTC-10, Tonga operates on Tonga Time (TOT), which is UTC+13. However, it's important to note that Tonga observes daylight saving time, which can affect the time difference during certain months. During daylight saving time, the difference may extend to 2 hours.
yes... When Europe is on Standard Time, Tonga (UTC+13) is 13 hours ahead of England (UTC/UTC+1). When Europe is on Summer Time, Tonga is 12 hours ahead of England. In Europe, Summer Time begins on the last Sunday of March and ends on the last Sunday of October. So when it's 11 PM TOT in Tonga, the time in England is either 10 AM GMT (during Standard Time) or 11 AM BST (during Summer Time).

Kiribati and Tonga are geographically close, but they are in different time zones due to their respective political and historical decisions regarding timekeeping. In 1995, Kiribati moved the International Date Line to ensure that all of its islands, particularly those in the Line Islands, would be on the same day, effectively placing them ahead of Tonga. This shift was made to facilitate communication and administrative functions across the dispersed islands of Kiribati. Consequently, despite their proximity, the two countries operate on different time zones.
The Central Time Zone is east of the Mountain Time Zone.
