Best Answer

The majority of time zone boundaries are international borders. Within countries that have multiple contiguous time zones, the boundaries usually coincide with political borders of the country's subdivisions. In a few of those countries, the time zone boundaries deviate from state, provincial or territorial borders to pass through more sparsely populated areas, to follow a certain line of longitude, not necessarily 7.5° plus a multiple of 15°, or to divide a subdivision that itself spans more than 15° of longitude.

How many hours difference between Pacific time zone and central time zone?

In the contiguous United States, there are four time zones. Eastern Standard Time, Central Standard Time, Mountain Standard Time and Pacific Standard Time. Each time zone is separated one hour from the time zones that it borders. In this case, Central Standard Time (CST) is separated from Pacific Standard Time (PST) by the Mountain Standard Time (MST). Therefore the two time zones are two hours apart from each other.

How many time zones is the earth divide?

The earth is divided into 40 formal time zones, not 24 as might commonly be expected. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_time_zones for a complete list. Note that the number of time zones also varies with the season as some regions adopt daylight savings time (DST) while others (in the same time zone) choose not to use DST. This can lead to a seasonal increase or decrease in the total number of time zones. According to PHC there are 24 Major time zones
