Georgia is in which time zone?

• A. Central Time Zone
• B. Eastern Time Zone
• C. Mountain Time Zone
• D. Pacific Time Zone

Answer: (B)

Time zones follow geography from east to west, so places farther east use earlier times. Georgia sits on the eastern side of the United States, near the Atlantic coast, which places it in the Eastern Time Zone. That means standard time is Eastern Standard Time (UTC−5) and, during daylight saving time, Eastern Daylight Time (UTC−4). The other options correspond to locations further west: Central, Mountain, and Pacific Time Zones. So the correct zone for Georgia is the Eastern Time Zone.
