Germania
Germania was the Latin term for a geographical area of land on the east bank of the Rhine (inner Germania), which included regions of Sarmatia as well as an area under Roman control on the west bank of the Rhine. The name came into use after Julius Caesar adopted it from a Gallic term for the peoples east of the Rhine that probably meant "neighbour".

Hong Kong
Hong Kong () is one of two special administrative regions (SARs) of the People's Republic of China (PRC), the other being Macau. Situated on China's south coast and enclosed by the Pearl River Delta and South China Sea, it is renowned for its expansive skyline and deep natural harbour. With a land mass of and a population of seven million people, Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Hong Kong's population is 95 percent ethnic Chinese and 5 percent from other groups. Hong Kong's Han Chinese majority originate mainly from the cities of Guangzhou and Taishan in the neighbouring Guangdong province.

Mappa dei fusi orari aggiornata al 2011

I fusi orari sono zone della Terra che hanno la stessa ora convenzionale. Precedentemente alla loro adozione, nelle varie zone della Terra si usava l'ora solare locale (media o vera), che produceva un orario leggermente differente da città a città.

I fusi orari rettificarono parzialmente il problema, impostando gli orologi di una regione sull'ora solare media del meridiano centrale del fuso in cui la zona ricade.

[modifica] Caratteristiche e aggiustamenti

Considerando la Terra come sferica, e considerando che la rotazione terrestre si compie in 24 ore, dividendo i 360° della rotazione per 24 si può immaginare la superficie sferica divisa in 24 "spicchi" di 15° l'uno, che vengono quindi percorsi in un'ora ciascuno. A questi spicchi si dà il nome di fusi orari, e si assume per convenzione che in tutto il fuso ci sia l'ora del meridiano centrale ad esso, quello che taglia il fuso esattamente a metà.

I fusi orari sono perciò centrati sui meridiani con longitudine multipla di 15°; i confini delle zone di fuso orario risultano però irregolari, in quanto seguono solitamente i confini delle nazioni.

Tutti i fusi orari sono definiti relativamente al Tempo Coordinato Universale (UTC). Il punto di riferimento per i fusi orari è il meridiano primo (longitudine 000) che passa attraverso l'Osservatorio reale di Greenwich, a Londra, Inghilterra. Per questo motivo il termine Tempo medio di Greenwich (GMT) viene ancora spesso utilizzato (dalla BBC ad esempio) per denotare l'"orario base" al quale tutti i fusi orari sono relativi. UTC è, ciò non di meno, il termine ufficiale per l'odierno orario misurato con gli orologi atomici, distinto da quello determinato dall'osservazione astronomica che veniva svolta a Greenwich.

Incidentalmente, GMT (UTC) è l'ora locale di Greenwich solo tra le 01:00 UTC dell'ultima domenica di ottobre e le 01:00 UTC dell'ultima domenica di marzo. Per il resto dell'anno l'ora locale è UTC+1 (a causa dell'ora estiva).

L'ora di un luogo è data relativamente all'UTC. Ad esempio:

Roma: UTC+1 (ovvero se sono le 12:00 UTC, allora sono le 13:00 a Roma)
Los Angeles, California, USA: UTC-8 (ovvero se sono le 12:00 UTC, allora sono le 04:00 a Los Angeles)
Mumbai, India: UTC+5,5 (ovvero se sono le 13:00 UTC, allora sono le 18:30 a Mumbai)
Tokyo, Giappone: UTC+9 (ovvero se sono le 11:00 UTC, allora sono le 20:00 a Tokyo)
Pechino, Cina: UTC+8 (ovvero se sono le 12:00 UTC, allora sono le 20:00 a Pechino)

Quando l'aggiustamento dovuto ai fusi orari dà un'ora che oltrepassa la mezzanotte, allora la data locale è spostata al giorno dopo. Alcuni esempi:

Il Cairo, Egitto: UTC+2 (ovvero se sono le 23:00 UTC di lunedì 15 marzo, allora l'orario del Cairo è la 01:00 di martedì 16 marzo)
Auckland, Nuova Zelanda: UTC+12 (ovvero se sono le 21:00 UTC di mercoledì 30 giugno, allora l'orario di Auckland è le 09:00 di giovedì 1º luglio)

Quando l'aggiustamento dovuto ai fusi orari dà un'ora che precede la mezzanotte, allora la data locale è spostata al giorno prima. Alcuni esempi:

Buenos Aires, Argentina: UTC-4 (ovvero se sono le 03:00 UTC di sabato 23 luglio, allora l'orario di Buenos Aires è le 23:00 di venerdì 22 luglio)
Honolulu, Hawaii, USA: UTC-10 (ovvero se sono le 06:00 UTC di lunedì 1º maggio, allora l'orario di Honolulu è le 20:00 di domenica 30 aprile)

Nota: L'aggiustamento del fuso orario per una specifica locazione può variare a causa dell'uso dell'ora legale.

ad esempio, la Nuova Zelanda che è normalmente a UTC+12, osserva un aggiustamento di un'ora, dovuto all'ora legale durante l'estate dell'emisfero australe, che risulta in un'ora locale di UTC+13.

I militari indicano i fusi orari usando delle designazioni ad una singola lettera. La "Z" viene usata per indicare l'UTC, i fusi orari in avanti rispetto all'UTC usano le lettere della prima metà dell'alfabeto latino, mentre quelli indietro rispetto all'UTC sono designati usando la seconda metà. Fusi orari con una deviazione dall'UTC di una quantità non intera usano la lettera dell'ora locale intera più vicina all'UTC, con aggiunto * o †. La lettera "J" si riferisce all'ora locale. Non esistono giurisdizioni che osservino il fuso orario designato dalla lettera "Y" (UTC-12), ma quel particolare fuso orario viene comunque riconosciuto per comodità.

[modifica] Orario ai poli

Per le regioni polari viene adottata convenzionalmente un'ora corrispondente a UTC per il Polo Nord e UTC+12 al Polo Sud

[modifica] Le origini

Per approfondire, vedi la voce Tempo siderale.

Con l'aumentare del sistema degli scambi e degli spostamenti internazionali incominciò a consolidarsi l'idea dell'importanza di individuare un sistema di coordinamento delle diverse ore locali. Si pensi che solamente il 12 dicembre 1866 Roma e Milano adottarono un'ora comune fissata sull'ora corrispondente al meridiano che passava per il Campidoglio. Qualche giorno più tardi (1 gennaio 1867) anche Torino e Bologna si adeguarono al nuovo sistema, mentre ad esempio Venezia lo fece più tardi (1 maggio 1880) e Cagliari solo nel 1886. Con queste decisioni si passò dall'ora locale, segnata dal passare del sole nelle varie località, ad un'ora nazionale. L'introduzione delle diverse ore nazionali non era però ancora sufficiente per realizzare un sistema efficiente di relazioni sul piano internazionale.

I fusi orari furono proposti per la prima volta da Quirico Filopanti. L'idea però non venne realizzata in quanto non trovò negli stati nazionali di allora o nelle istituzioni economiche degli "sponsor" che promuovessero la loro adozione. Non a caso la loro introduzione viene attribuita a Sanford Fleming, ingegnere capo delle ferrovie canadesi, che riprese l'idea per rispondere alle necessità delle compagnie ferroviarie di avere un orario locale coerente tra le varie stazioni. Il 18 novembre 1883 le ferrovie degli Stati Uniti e del Canada divennero le prime a istituire i fusi orari quando stabilirono quattro fusi orari continentali del Nord America.

Il sistema dei fusi orari fu discusso nel corso della Conferenza Internazionale dei Meridiani convocata a Washington D.C. nell'ottobre del 1884 a cui parteciparono 25 paesi tra cui l'Italia. La Conferenza stabilì le regole generali del sistema che fu ufficialmente assunto come standard internazionale a partire dal 1 novembre 1884.

In Italia l'adozione del sistema dei fusi orari fu introdotto con un regio decreto del 10 agosto 1893 e entrò in vigore il 31 ottobre dello stesso anno. Il meridiano di riferimento per il fuso orario al quale appartiene l'Italia passa per il meridiano Termoli – Etna.

Le regioni segnate con * osservano l'ora legale aggiungendo 1 ora in estate. Si noti che l'orario di alcune regioni differisce di più di 24 ore. I due fusi orari più estremi differiscono di 25 ore quindi, per un'ora al giorno, le date differiscono per 2 giorni.
