❓ Common Questions
🌍
What are time zones?
Time zones are regions of Earth that have the same standard time. The world is divided into 24 time zones, each roughly 15 degrees of longitude apart. They're based on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and range from UTC-12 to UTC+14.

What is Daylight Saving Time?
Daylight Saving Time (DST) is the practice of moving clocks forward by one hour during warmer months to extend evening daylight. Not all countries observe DST—for example, most of Asia and Africa don't use it. Our clocks automatically adjust for DST changes! 🕐
📞
How do I schedule calls across time zones?
The key is finding overlapping business hours! For example, if you're in New York (UTC-5) and calling Tokyo (UTC+9), your 7 PM is their 9 AM the next day. Use our world clock above to compare times instantly! ⚡

Why doesn't the whole world use one time zone?
While it would simplify things, having local times that align with daylight helps daily life make more sense. When the sun is highest in the sky, it's noon locally. Some have proposed Universal Time for coordination, but most prefer local times for daily activities.
