There are 24 hours in a day, and 24 time zones around the world, so you might think that time zones are spaced an hour apart -- but they are not! Politics and a country's fight for identity means that many time zones in the world make no sense to people who don't live there. So the answer is: time zones are spaced as politicians decide, and there is no direct answer to your question. Please check the Related Link below for an interactive time zone map of the world. Here are a few examples of "crazy" time differences in the world. There is only half hour time difference between Pakistan and India. Korea and Japan are in the same time zone and Vladivostok on Russia's east coast is two hours ahead of them - yet on the map, Vladivostok's longitude is half way BETWEEN Korea and Japan! All of China is one time zone yet there are three different time zones in the countries across China's southern flank. http://www.worldtimezone.com/

How many hours difference between Pacific time zone and central 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).
