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.
The two states that are only an hour apart in time difference are Maine on the east coast and Florida on the east coast, and Washington on the west coast and California on the west coast.
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
The time difference between the east coast and the west coast of the United States is due to their respective positions within different time zones. The Earth is divided into 24 time zones, each roughly 15 degrees of longitude wide. When it is noon on the east coast, it is 9 am on the west coast due to the Earth's rotation.
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
Canada East :)
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.
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.
Ottawa is in the east.
Assuming that they are in the same time zone, there is no time difference. Only longitude (East-West) affects time.
