What was the time difference between the time the planes hit and the time the twin towers collapsed?

The earth turns anti-clockwise (counter-clockwise) just like all other planets in the solar system bar Venus. Day occurs, obviously, when the sun shines on the face of the earth, so if you imagine looking at the earth from above as it is turning anti-clockwise it is the areas furthest to the east that will first get sun, if the sun remains in a fixed position.
What this means is that if you expect the day to "start" when the sun comes up (let's call sunrise as 6am local time), then a place further to the east will experience sunrise before a place to the west. Thus, more eastern zone should have 6am occur BEFORE the more western zone. Using this numbering, at a fixed absolute time, a timezone which is more easterly than the current one will require it to be FURTHER along in the day, thus "later" in the day than the current one. The opposite is true for a zone west of the current one, where local time will be EARLIER than the current one.
Logically, this makes sense - if sunrise is at 6am, and someone to the east sees sunrise before you do, then by the time you see sunrise, they should be at some time AFTER 6am (their time). Conversely, a person west of you has yet to see the sunrise when you first see it at 6am (local time), so they must be at some local time BEFORE 6am.
This means day occurs earlier the more east you go, and so time zones get "earlier" as you travel from east to west. This continues until you reach the international date line (IDL) which is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Once you pass this, the time will still be earlier (e.g. 6.00 will turn to 5.00) but you will "gain a day" since it is officially 23 hours later rather than one hour earlier.

What time is 1730 in standard time?
Subtract 1200 [1].
"Standard" is probably not the right word[2] - try "civilian time". The number, 17:30, is "military time" (24 hours/day).
Military time is written with a colon, ':', but is pronounced like a four digit number with explicitly spoken zeros: "Shower, 07:00 [Oh - seven - hundred], Mess Hall, 07:20 [Oh - seven - twenty]".
[1] 17:30 just means 5:30 pm as per a 24-hour clock, i.e. 00:00 is midnight, 12:00 is midday, 13:00 is 1:00 pm, 14:00 is 2:00 pm, etc.
[2] Converting DST (Daylight Savings Time) to ST (Standard Time) will depend on where you are.
17:30 in the UK would provide a different equivalent 'standard time' than 17:30 in India or Australia. In theory, the conversion is simple, but is very complicated when certain countrys (such as UK) shift their hours between the winter (DST) and summer (ST) schedule.
Is Arizona in the same time zone as Nevada?
No. Arizona is in MST and Oregon is in PST. Arizona is one hour ahead of Oregon.
Yes, the time in most of Oregon is the same as the time in most of Arizona most of the year.
Most of Oregon alternates between UTC-8 & UTC-7, and most of Arizona is on UTC-7 all year. So their times are the same from the 2nd Sunday of March to the 1st Sunday of November. During the rest of the year Arizona is 1 hour ahead of most of Oregon, but it has the same time as the rest of Oregon.
The names of the time zones are different, but Pacific Daylight Saving Time and Mountain Standard Time are both UTC-7.
Is GMT the same thing as pacific standard time?
No, GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is the time standard at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London, while Pacific Standard Time (PST) is the time zone used in the Pacific Time Zone of the United States and Canada. GMT is commonly used as the reference point for time across the globe, while PST specifically refers to the time in the western part of North America.
