Yes, in the US, the Eastern time zone is further east than the Central time zone, so it is one hour ahead of Central time.

Example:

If it were 12:00 pm (noon) in Miami, Florida, in the Eastern Standard Time Zone, it would be 11:00 am in Houston, Texas in the Central Standard Time Zone.

The short answer is:

Maybe...

The long answer is:

Depends on whether you consider "behind" to be earlier or later. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, therefore, the farther east you go, the later it is. Eastern time is always one hour later than central time. So, 10PM EST is 9PM CST. Likewise, PST (Pacific Standard time) is 3 hours earlier than EST, and 2 hours earlier than CST.

astern time is always before. For example, If it is 10:35 am in Seattle, Washington state, it is 11:35 in Boise, Idaho, 12:35 in Chicago, Illinois, and 1:35 in New York City, New York. this is because the sun comes up in the East.

The central time zone (CST) is not ahead of eastern time zone (EST). The eastern time zone is one hour ahead of the central time zone. So if it is 9:00 AM CST, it is 10 AM EST.

How many hours are you in central from eastern?

Assuming no travel time is being added to the equation, for example, if you are driving just the short distance of a few blocks from one side of the border from Georgia to the other side of the border in Alabama, you would be an hour earlier when you get to Alabama. Eastern Standard Time (EST) is one hour ahead of Central Standard Time (CST) in the US. Example: If you leave the Eastern time zone at the western edge of Georgia at 8:00 am and drive west five minutes to get to the state line of Alabama in the Central time zone, the time when you get to Alabama will be 7:05 am. Additional Information: EST = GMT/UTC -5 CST = GMT/UTC -6

How many hours is eastern from central time?

The question needs to be rephrased. Standard time refers to when each time zone observes time based the number of hours assigned to that zone, plus or minus, from Greenwich Mean Time, and without any adjustment for summer hours. Central time refers to a particular time zone in the U.S. that is assigned 6 hours behind GMT for its standard time. GMT doesn't move forward or backward based on the seasons so it serves as a constant reference basis for all other time zones. So in this example, standard time for the Central time zone is 6 hours earlier than GMT. However, in the summer, when clocks are advanced one hour in most of the U.S., the Central time zone is observing Daylight time so it is only 5 hours earlier than GMT. Similarly the Eastern time zone in the U.S. is assigned a standard time of 5 hours earlier than GMT but it's only 4 hours earlier during the summer when clocks are moved forward. So, when it's 11 a.m. GMT it would be 6 a.m. EST or 7 a.m. EDT.

What time is 1 o'clock central time in the eastern time zone?

It would be 2pm in Eastern Time. The four major U.S. time zones are arranged so that from east to west they are Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific. Eastern is the earliest, and each zone is one hour behind the one before it. So if it is 2pm in Eastern, it's 1pm Central, 12pm Mountain, and 11am Pacific.
