Frequently Asked Questions
What is a time zone?
A time zone is a region that observes a uniform standard time. The world is divided into 24 primary time zones, each roughly 15 degrees of longitude wide.
What is UTC offset?
UTC offset is the difference in hours and minutes from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). For example, UTC+5:30 means 5 hours 30 minutes ahead of UTC.
Why do some time zones have 30 or 45 minute offsets?
Some countries chose non-standard offsets to better align with solar noon or for political/historical reasons. Examples: India (UTC+5:30), Nepal (UTC+5:45).
