East vs West: A Tale of Two Time Zones
Imagine the world as a giant clock. London is fashionably eight hours ahead of PST, which means when you're sipping your morning coffee at 8 am PST, Big Ben is already bonging for lunch (and yes, Big Ben does bong, it's not some kind of silent movie prop).
This discrepancy can be a real head-scratcher. Here's a handy trick:
QuickTip: Note key words you want to remember.
- London is 8 hours ahead: If it's daytime in PST, picture Londoners basking in afternoon sun. Night owl in PST? London is probably tucked under the covers.
Pro Tip: Next time you plan a video call with your London counterpart, avoid the whole "is it Wednesday or Thursday?" confusion by scheduling it for the afternoon in both time zones. Thank us later.
But Wait, There's More! Fun Facts About Time Zones (Because Why Not?)
- Did you know the world is divided into 24 time zones? That's one for every hour of the day (almost)!
- There are even half-hour and quarter-hour time zones out there, keeping things interesting.
- Fun fact unrelated to time zones: The Earth spins at about 1,000 miles per hour at the equator. So, technically, you are constantly traveling through time zones!
