Reference

Time zones are geographic regions that observe the same standard time. They are defined relative to a designated reference meridian, often the Prime Meridian at 0° longitude passing through Greenwich, England. The world is divided into 24 major time zones spaced at 15° longitude intervals, with some countries further subdividing into additional offsets.

Calculation

This application does not perform any calculations. It provides a visual representation of time zones across the world using mapping data.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use the time zone map?

The map initially shows a color-coded flat map of global time zones. Use the toggle switch to view time zones on an interactive 3D globe model instead.

What do the colors represent?

Each color corresponds to a different time zone relative to the reference meridian (GMT/UTC).

How can I identify a specific time zone?

Hover over a region to view the time zone ID label, or refer to the time zone boundaries outlined on the map/globe.

Can I search for a particular location?

No, this application does not have a search function. It provides an overall global view of time zones.

Is there a legend explaining the time zone colors?

No, the application does not include a legend. The colors are used to visually distinguish different time zones from one another.
