Do you know what a time zone is, or which time zone you live in? In this video, you and your kids will learn all about time zones. You'll even learn some interesting facts about several time zones. For instance, did you know that the entire country of China has one time zone? Even if it's dark outside, it may still be 2 o'clock in the afternoon! In addition to that, both Alaska and Hawaii are the only states in their time zones. Including Alaska and Hawaii, there are six total time zones in the USA. You will also learn how some of these time zones get their names. In America, the time zones are named according to their general location. The Eastern time zone is so named because it's on the east side of the country. The Pacific time zone is next to the Pacific ocean. And Mountain Standard Time is called just that because of the Rocky Mountain range that runs through many of the states in that time zone. What about jet lag? Or even flying in an air plane when it never seems to get dark? This video also explains why both of these odd things can happen. You may have even experienced it yourself!
