What are the popular cities in central time zone of America?

Answer 1

Some of the larger, most popular cities in the Central Time Zone of the US are:

* Houston, TX * Dallas, TX * New Orleans, LA * Oklahoma City, OK * Memphis, TN * Kansas City, KS * Wichita, KS * Chicago, IL * St. Louis, MO * Minneapolis, MN

Answer 2

Alabama: The entire state is officially in the Central Time Zone. However, a handful of communities unofficially observe Eastern Time because they are part of the Columbus, Georgia metropolitan area -Phenix City, Smiths Station, Lanett, and Valley.

Answer 3

Time in the contiguous United States is divided into the eastern, central, mountain and Pacific Standard Time zones. New York City is the largest city in the Eastern Time zone. Los Angeles is the largest city in the Pacific Time zone. Chicago is the largest city in the central time zone. Phoenix is the largest city in the Mountain Time zone.

Answer 4

Almost all time zones on land have legally defined borders which coincide with the borders of the country mandating the time or some subdivision thereof. Of the 40 time zones on land, most are offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) by a whole number of hours (UTC−12 to UTC+14), but a few are offset by 30 or 45 minutes from a nearby hourly zone. In addition to land time zones, there are 25 nautical time zones, all separated by lines of longitude. Most (UTC−11 to UTC+11) are 15° of longitude wide, which is one hour of Earth's rotation relative to the Sun, but an hourly zone in the central Pacific Ocean is split into two 7.5° wide zones (UTC±12) by the 180th meridian, part of which coincides with the International Date Line. Many land time zones are skewed toward the west relative to the corresponding nautical time zones.

Before 1972, all time zones were specified as an offset from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), which was the mean solar time at the meridian passing through the Royal Observatory inGreenwich, London, United Kingdom. Since 1972, all official time services have broadcast radio time signals synchronized to UTC, a form of atomic time that includes leap seconds to keep it within 0.9 seconds of this former GMT, now called UT1. Many countries now legally define their standard time relative to UTC, although some still legally refer to GMT, including the United Kingdom itself. UTC, also called Zulu time, is used everywhere on Earth by astronomers and others who need to state the time of an event unambiguously.

Originally, all time on Earth was some local apparent solar time, the time on a sundial, so every city had its own time. When well-regulated mechanical clocks became widespread in the early 19th century, each city began to use some local mean solar time. The first time zone was created in 1847 by railroads on the island of Great Britain using GMT. Sandford Flemingof Canada proposed worldwide hourly time zones in 1879. By about 1900, almost all time on Earth was in the form of standard time zones, only some of which used an hourly offset from GMT. Many applied the time at a local astronomical observatory to an entire country, without any reference to GMT. It took many decades before all time on Earth was in the form of time zones referred to some "standard offset" from GMT/UTC. Nepal was the last country to adopt a standard offset, shifting slightly to UTC+5:45 in 1986. Daylight saving time or Summer Time, an advance of one hour, is mandated by many countries between spring and autumn. Computer operating systems use either UTC or a local time zone to time stamp events.

Answer 5

Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and Salt Lake City are the four major cities in the four time zones of the contiguous United States of America. Chicago is in the central time zone whereas Los Angeles occupies the Pacific time zone. New York represents the eastern time zone while Salt Lake City stands in the mountain time zone.

Answer 6

Listed below is the largest city by population in each U.S. time zone in winter and in summer:

Winter:
UTC-11 : Pago Pago, American Samoa (SST)
UTC-10 : Honolulu, Hawaii (HAST)
UTC-9 : Anchorage, Alaska (AKST)
UTC-8 : Los Angeles, California (PST)
UTC-7 : Phoenix, Arizona (MST)
UTC-6 : Chicago, Illinois (CST)
UTC-5 : New York, New York (EST)
UTC-4 : San Juan, Puerto Rico (AST)
UTC+10 : Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands (ChST)

Summer:
UTC-11 : Pago Pago, American Samoa (SST)
UTC-10 : Honolulu, Hawaii (HAST)
UTC-9 : Gambell, Alaska (HADT)
UTC-8 : Anchorage, Alaska (AKDT)
UTC-7 : Los Angeles, California (PDT)
UTC-6 : Denver, Colorado (MDT)
UTC-5 : Chicago, Illinois (CDT)
UTC-4 : New York, New York (EDT)
UTC+10 : Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands (ChST)

Names of U.S. Time Zones:
UTC-11 = American Samoa Standard Time (SST)
UTC-10 = Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time (HAST)
UTC-9 = Hawaii-Aleutian Daylight Saving Time (HADT) = Alaska Standard Time (AKST)
UTC-8 = Alaska Daylight Saving Time (AKDT) = Pacific Standard Time (PST)
UTC-7 = Pacific Daylight Saving Time (PDT) = Mountain Standard Time (MST)
UTC-6 = Mountain Daylight Saving Time (MDT) = Central Standard Time (CST)
UTC-5 = Central Daylight Saving Time (CDT) = Eastern Standard Time (EST)
UTC-4 = Eastern Daylight Saving Time (EDT) = Atlantic Standard Time (AST)
UTC+10 = Chamorro Standard Time (ChST)
