time zone UTC 12 (= IDLE)

in some maps time zone 12 is divided in two halfs: UTC+ 12 and UTC- 12 (see below)

WORLD TIME ZONES
time zone calculation table

A TIME ZONE is a region of the earth that has uniform standard time, usually referred to as the local time. By convention, time zones compute their local time as an offset from UTC (see also Greenwich Mean Time). Local time is UTC plus the current time zone offset for the considered location.
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is a time standard based on International Atomic Time (TAI) with leap seconds added at irregular intervals to compensate for the Earth's slowing rotation.

The Earth rotates- seen from its surface- into the Eastern direction.. Such a rotation period is called " day" and divided into 24 hours.. Following these meridians, the sun rises on different times. Clocks and calendars were since ancient times directly associated to the local sun rises and the sun years.. Why are there different times of the sun rises in diffferent regions of the earth? read more in the text box: For many reason, the earthmap has been divided into "latitudes and longitudes". The longitudes, ( imaginable like a peeled orange) all pass through the Northern and Southern pole, while all latitudese divide the earth from West to West . While the Earth rotates , the sun light however can only reach about the half of the earth bowl at one time , while on the other part is night Seen from its surface, the earth rotates into Eastern direction. However- the sun can only illuminate more than about the half of that bowl at one time . But by the earth rotation ( spin) the sun rise also "wanders once on one day over the entire earth surface. That is way the sun rises objectively on different times in each East Western part of the earth. By an airplane we can even follow the sunrise, overtake it and so have two sunrises on one single day or do the opposite ! As each region had and still has traditionally its own time, die to the local sunrises , withn international traffic many problems arose. To handle all the problems with traffic, ( mostly the scheduls ) trade from one local times zones to the other ( for example, to prevent that a local train using the same track at that time when a foreign train passes through at " hits local time" ), by international agreements the earth has been divided into 24 times zones due to 24 hours of a watch . Since ever the Royal observatory in Greenwhich/ England marks the "0" Meridian ("zero meridian") which goes around the entire earth . Sofinally -by international agreements the same 24-division ( 24 times 15° make 360°) had been made with the so called longitude " meridians before, 24 times zones were associated to the existing 24 Meridians and and -analog to the "0" Meridians passing through Greenwhich that Grenwhich O Meridian became also the default time zone called " GMT( Greenwhich mean Time) zone . This regulation lasted many years, but seemed still not to be perfect . Due to the introduction of scientific time calculations associated the so called "atomic clock" ,the UTC (Universal Time Coordinated ") was introduced and applied to the former GMT systems of the world time zones with its time zone 0 still on the = meridian through Greenwhich.. The Greenwhich mean Time ( and by that )all watches on the earth are since then adjusted to the "Atomic clock time": If (for example) -the earth rotation differs or changes ( was it does sometimes , but what is mostly equalized again by other changes)the GMT is adjusted to the "atomic times" and within the GMT all watches and times zones on the earth! . For example: many PC user just dont realize that, that also the watch in your PC makes those updates automatically through the Internet , as well as so called " radio watches" receive a signal with the correct adjusted time from a central sender due to different sun rises, and with continuing " internationalisation", people travel, trade an communicate between these different local times zones. Instead of simply adjusting all the clocks on the earth to one universal time ( so mid-day would be in Greenwhich at 12PM but in the next times zone at 1 PM, and we would have not to calculate . But: Every country still insists touse watches with the "12" on the top what means "Midday" resp "Midnight"- due to local sunrises. What would be the problem, if watches in Germany have either a " 1 on to ( while the watch hand still show in vertical direction at midnight ... or opposite? This is however the reason, why we still have to calculate , the time difference is from our local time to the local time in that earth region, where we (for example)want to travel to. Many use so called calculators but it always needs to insert number for each calculation Therefore I have made that time table, particularly out of easy recognizable colors ( night is dark day is brighter), where all local times can be found very easy ( as I hope) clicik here to get to my universal time zone converting table:
