Time zones give areas on the earth a time of day that is earlier or later than
the neighboring time zones. This is because when it is day-time on one side
of the earth, it is night-time on the other side. There are 24 time zones
dividing the earth into different times, each with its own name. In the
United States, there are four time zones; Eastern, Central, Mountain and
Pacific. These time zones are shown on the map below. When it is 12:00 in
the Pacific time zone, it is 1:00 Mountain , 2:00 Central and 3:00 Eastern.
12:00 1:00 2:00 3:00
