The Eastern tome zone is the next time zone to the East from the Central time zone so therefore the Central time zone is 1 hour behind the Eastern time zone.

Because the sun rises in the East, the Eastern zone gets the sun before the Central zone. In other words it is AHEAD of Central 1 hour.

Example: When sunrise in New York happens, say, at 6am, it is still dark in Chicago where it is 5am.

What is the time difference in two zones now 7:10 in Florida. question central time now
