Understanding Timezones
Earth is divided into 24 primary time zones, mostly offset by whole hours from UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). Some zones have 30 or 45-minute offsets, and many observe Daylight Saving Time (DST) to make better use of daylight.
Daylight Saving Time (DST) Explained
DST advances clocks by 1 hour in summer for longer evenings. Not all countries use it, and start/end dates vary. Common mistake: Forgetting DST causes 1-hour errors during transitions.
Our tool automatically handles DST using up-to-date rules—no manual adjustments needed!
