Which country has the largest number of time-zone?

Answer 1

I think Russia wins hands down with 11 time zones. The western most time zone would be Kaliningrad between Lithuania and Poland and the eastern most time zone is the Chukotskiy Peninsula with the town Uelen sticking out into the Bering Strait, towards Alaska.
Russia had 11 time zone but now it has been reduced to 9 zones :-(
Russia, it has 11 time zones, stretching from Eastern Europe over Asia towards Alaska.

Answer 2

One reason is because of their large sizes. A time zone is typically 15° wide. Some countries are much wider than that, so they have more than one time zone. A country could be smaller, but have a time zone run through it.

Answer 3

Countries with Two or More Adjacent Time Zones:

• French Polynesia (UTC-10, UTC-9:30 & UTC-9)
• Canada (UTC-7, UTC-6, UTC-5 & UTC-4 all year; UTC-8 & UTC-3:30 during Standard Time only; UTC-3 & UTC-2:30 during Daylight Saving Time only)
• United States (contiguous states: UTC-7, UTC-6 & UTC-5 all year; UTC-8 during Standard Time only; UTC-4 during Daylight Saving Time only)
• Mexico (UTC-7 & UTC-6 all year; UTC-8 during Standard Time only; UTC-5 during Daylight Saving Time only)
• Brazil (UTC-5, UTC-4, UTC-3 & UTC-2)
• Greenland (UTC-3 & UTC all year; UTC-4 & UTC-1 during Standard Time only; UTC-2 during Summer Time only)
• Democratic Republic of the Congo (UTC+1 & UTC+2)
• Ukraine (UTC+2 & UTC+3 while Europe is on Standard Time)
• Russian Federation (contiguous zones: UTC+3, UTC+4, UTC+5, UTC+6, UTC+7, UTC+8, UTC+9, UTC+10, UTC+11 & UTC+12)
• Kazakhstan (UTC+5 & UTC+6)
• Mongolia (UTC+7 & UTC+8)
• Indonesia (UTC+7, UTC+8 & UTC+9)
• Australia (mainland: UTC+8, UTC+8:45, UTC+9:30 & UTC+10 all year; UTC+10:30 & UTC+11 during Summer Time only)
• Federated States of Micronesia (UTC+10 & UTC+11)

Answer 5

For every 15° of longitude you go west along the same latitude, sunrise, local noon and sunset are all one hour later. To keep local sunrise and sunset from getting too early or late, some countries that cover more than 15° of longitude use multiple time zones.

Answer 6

France has the largest number of time zones, with a total of 12. This is due to its overseas territories spread across the globe.

Answer 7

Yeah, several. The US, Russia, Canada, Australia, Brazil, (Antarctica).

Answer 8
