Time in the world has different time zones. In the case of the United States of America, the time zones vary according to the location of the zone. There is the Pacific Time Zone, for places in the states of California, Nevada or Arizona. There is also Mountain Time, Central Time, and the Eastern Standard Time. This last one for places like New York, Boston or Philadelphia.
