		Standard time is defined to be the same everywhere within a zone--a sharp difference of one hour exists when one moves to the next zone but minutes and seconds remain the same.
		The boundary between the Pacific and Yukon time zones is at 127.5°W. It is accentuated in the diagram because it lies directly in the middle of the U.S. time zones.
		The westernmost time zone, centered on 180°, and extending from 172.5°W to 172.5°E, is numbered +12 and -12 because it is the twelfth zone east and west of Greenwich.

		Standard time within each time zone is an integral number of hours offset from a time scale called Universal Time, Coordinated (abbreviated UTC), maintained by a large number of very precise "atomic clocks" at laboratories around the world, including the U.S. Naval Observatory.
		History of Standard Time in the U.S. Standard time in time zones was instituted in the U.S. and Canada by the railroads on 18 November 1883.
		Standard time in time zones was not established in U.S. law until the Act of March 19, 1918, sometimes called the Standard Time Act.

	Alaska Standard Time Zone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Alaska Standard Time Zone (AKST) is a geographic region that keeps time by subtracting nine hours from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC, UTC-9).
		However, the Yukon Territory switched to the Pacific Standard Time Zone in 1983 and the time zone was not used (except for Yakutat) until 1983 when the state of Alaska decided to move most of the state to UTC-9.
		Prior to that the Alaska Panhandle communities were on the Pacific Time Zone, while most of the interior was on UTC-10.

	Standard Time around the World
		Standard time was fixed in 1883 to prevent the myriad of short time differences that would result if every locality determined the mean solar time by different meridians, depending on the longitude of the particular place.
		Alaska Standard Time is determined by the meridian at 135° west of Greenwich and Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time is set at the 150° meridian.
		The time in each zone is one hour earlier than in the zone to its east and one hour later than in the zone to its west.

		And in the interim, the plan was revised to base the four time zones on the longitudes five, six, seven and eight hours "behind" that of Greenwich, England.
		Thus the midpoints of the world's hourly time zones were conveniently defined at intervals of 15 degrees of longitude east and west of Greenwich.
		By the 1970s, the only places not observing standard time were the interior of Greenland (with a resident population of zero, it hardly matters), the polar ice caps (where all time zones converge meaninglessly) and inland Saudi Arabia (where clocks are sometimes still set to midnight at sunset, in accordance with Koranic law).
