Forexample,whenit'sdaytimeintheUS,it’snighttimeinChina.
Infact,there’sa12-hourtimedifferencebetweenBostonandshanghai.

BecauseoftheEarth'srotation,theEarthisdividedintotimezones.
Somecountries,suchastheUs,haveseveraltimezones.
Whenit's10aminNewYork.It’s7aminSanFrancisco.
EuropeandtheUSareseparatedbyseveraltimezones.
Whenit's5:

So,there'sasix-hourdifferencebetweenParisandBoston.
