Ohio observes which time zone?

Ohio observes which time zone?

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

Answer: (B)

Time zones divide the country so everyone follows the same standard time in a given area. Ohio sits in the eastern part of the United States, so it uses the Eastern Time Zone. That means Ohio follows Eastern Standard Time in the winter and Eastern Daylight Time in the summer when clocks are adjusted for daylight saving. The Central Time Zone is to Ohio’s west, and the Mountain Time Zone is farther still, so Ohio is not in those zones. In practice, Ohio keeps a single time zone across the entire state, which helps with scheduling flights and coordinating with major hubs on the East Coast.
