Canada has 5 Time Zones. Atlantic Time - is (Greenwich Mean Time) GMT -4 hours, ie. 4 hours behind Greenwich, England. Eastern Time - is (Greenwich Mean Time) GMT -5 hours, ie. 5 hours behind Greenwich, England. Central Time - is (Greenwich Mean Time) GMT -6 hours, ie. 6 hours behind Greenwich, England. Mountain Time - is (Greenwich Mean Time) GMT -7 hours, ie. 7 hours behind Greenwich, England. Pacific Time - is (Greenwich Mean Time) GMT -8 hours, ie. 8 hours behind Greenwich, England.
The east coast of the U.S. is three hours ahead of the west coast of the U.S.
Locations east of us are ahead in time because the Earth rotates from west to east. As the Earth spins, regions to the east experience sunrise and the progression of time before those to the west. This results in time zones where each zone typically represents one hour of time difference for every 15 degrees of longitude. Consequently, when it is noon in one location, it can be earlier in places to the west and later in those to the east.
Two opposite-coast states that are one hour apart are Veracruz and Baja California Sur in Mexico.
For every 15 degrees of longitude difference, there is approximately a one-hour time difference. Therefore, places that are 60 degrees east of your home would be about 4 hours ahead of your home time, while places that are 60 degrees west would be about 4 hours behind.
Longitude
Yes and no. Time zones change from east to West, not from North to South, and so some of Canada is in the Eastern time zone with Maryland, but much of it is not.
30 degree East and 80 degree west time difference
East Canada and West Canada of the Province of Canada was divided along religion and language with English dominating in West Canada and French in East Canada.
Canada East :)
West
The east coast is on the east and the west coast is on the west.
Canada East and Canada West were not "created." They were merely geographical designations within the pre-Confederation Province of Canada.
four hours
No. They are in the same time zone.
Assuming that they are in the same time zone, there is no time difference. Only longitude (East-West) affects time.
Ottawa is in the east.
