1.时区

时区指的是某一标准时适用的地区范围，概不考虑政治和自然疆界，其标准时叫“区时”。相邻两时区的区时相差完整的一小时。

英国的位置处在中时区上，它采用“格林尼治时间(GMT)”。

格林尼治位于英国伦敦东南、泰晤士河畔城市。英国皇家天文台(1675~1946年)曾设在此地。1884年国际经度会议决定以经过格林尼治的经线为本初子午线，作为计算地球经度的起点，也是世界“时区”的起点。第二次世界大战后，天文台已迁往东南沿海的赫斯特孟梭，其原址成为皇家海军学院和国家海洋博物馆天文站。

美国所处的位置正是在西四区至西八区之间。美国采用东部时间和西部时间。

而中国所处的位置是在东九区至东五区。但是实际上，为了使用上的方便，我国大部地区采用北京所在的东八区的时区，这就是“北京时间”。(新疆采用东六区的区时，称作“乌鲁木齐时间”)
