	Time - Printer-friendly - MSN Encarta
		The time zones extend from the North Pole to the South Pole, and within each zone the time is the same throughout.
		In fact, the borders of time zones are bent to conform to state and country boundaries, as well as to facilitate commercial activities.
		The U.S. standard time zones are the Atlantic, Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific, Alaska, Hawaii-Aleutian, and Samoa zones.

	Time zone - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		Time zones are areas of the Earth that have adopted the same standard time, usually referred to as the local time.
		Time zones were first proposed for the entire world by Canada's Sir Sandford Fleming in 1876 as an appendage to the single 24-hour clock he proposed for the entire world (located at the center of the Earth and not linked to any surface meridian!).
		Nepal's time zone of UTC + 5:45 was adopted in 1986 [4].

	Time - MSN Encarta
		Standard time was adopted to avoid the complications of adhering to railroad time schedules when each community used its own local solar time.
		Time would be determined by comparing the orbital position of a particular planet or satellite (natural or artificial) at a particular time to an ephemeride.
		Since 1967 the official length of a second in the International System of Units (SI) has been defined by atomic standards: a second is equal to 9,192,631,770 oscillations, or periods, of the radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine (closely spaced) energy states of the cesium-133 atom.

	Newfoundland Standard Time Zone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The clock time in this zone is based on the mean solar time of the 52nd degree and 30 arcminute meridian west of the Greenwich Observatory.
		This unique time zone exists because of the location of the island and the fact that it was a separate dominion when the time zones were established.
		The island of Newfoundland lies squarely in the eastern half of the Atlantic Standard Time Zone, exactly three and a half hours from Greenwich and, as a separate dominion, it had the ability to adopt its own timezone.

	International time zones - history
		Standard Time uses Greenwich, a borough of London, England as the zero degree meridian, or "Prime Meridian', and divides the world into 24 zones, from pole to pole.
		Time is uniform throughout each zone, and differs from the international basis of legal and scientific time, called "Coordinated Universal Time" (UTC), by a set number of hours.
		In a few regions, however, the legal time kept is not the same as one of the 24 standard time zones because half-hour or quarter-hour differences are in effect there.

	Decimal Time - Time Zones
		French decimal time used local true, or apparent, solar time, that is, 5 o'clock on a decimal clock occurred exactly at true noon, when the sun reached its highest point in the sky at the location of the observer, and 10 o'clock was at true midnight, midway between two successive high points.
		Alternately, one time of day might be used everywhere, and individuals and organizations could choose to adjust their own schedules according to when the sun shines in their part of the world, without changing the time of day.
		Time zones east of Zulu are designated as A-M, and west of Zulu as N-Y, with J reserved for unspecified local time.

	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.

	Time zone
		Time zones are areas of the Earth that have adopted the same standard time.
		Time zones partially rectified the problem by setting the clocks of a region to the same mean solar time.
		Time zones are generally centered on meridianss of a longitude that is a multiple of 15º thus making neighbouring time zones one hour apart.

	Time zone Summary
		Standard meridians occur every 15° of longitudinal displacement from the prime meridian (e.g., 15° W, 30° W, 45° W, etc.) The standard meridians also establish the local noon for the time zone and, therefore, each time zone is defined as being 7.5° longitudinal displacement both west and east of the standard meridian.
		Because a time zone ranges 7.5° east and west of a standard meridian, the applicable standard meridian for Rome is the 15° E standard meridian.
		Standard time zones can be defined by geometrically subdividing the Earth's spheroid into 24 lunes (wedge-shaped sections), bordered by meridians each 15° of longitude apart.

	Time Standards
		Mean Solar Time is simply apparent solar time corrected for the effects of orbital eccentricity and the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to the ecliptic plane; that is, corrected by the equation of time which is defined as the hour angle of the true Sun minus the hour angle of the mean Sun.
		Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is a coordinated time scale maintained by the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM), which forms the basis of a coordinated dissemination of standard frequencies and time signals.
		The Time and Frequency Division is an operating unit of the Physics Laboratory of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

	Time Zone Background Info
		Standard Time is legal time in a specific area of the world.
		For example, starting in 2001, the Central time zone includes places (most of Saskatchewan) that don't observe DST at all, places (Missouri, etc.) that observe it from April to October, and places (Mexico City) that observe it from May to September.
		Daylight saving time may be observed, but if so, every place in the time zone must advance and retard its clocks at the same time.

	timezone -- setting local time zone
		The time kept by the local machine should be a universal standard representation such as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) or Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) -- hereafter referred to as the universal reference time.
		To support a universal standard, all MKS utilities assume that times stored in the file system and returned by the operating system are stored in the universal reference time, then translated to local times.
		The stated time zone precedes the machine clock time by one hour when Daylight Savings Time is in effect.

	Time Zone
		Time zones are thus a compromise, relaxing the complex geographic dependence while still allowing local time to approximate the mean solar time.
		Application software is able to calculate the time in various zones, but there is no standard way for users from multiple zones to use a single server and have their own local time presented to them.
		Standard library routines are used to calculate the local time based on the current timezone, normally supplied to processes through the TZ environment variable.
