Technically every 30 metres there should be a 1 second time zone adjustment.
Actually every 463 meters.
40 075km is circumference of Earth. There are 24x60x60 seconds in a day.
40 075×1 000÷(24×60 ×60) =~ 463.8
Wouldn’t it depend on latitude? It would be much less than 463 metres at the latitudes of Europe
I find it amazing that there were places without official time zones in 1923.
I wish we had the lines to compare.
Damn, Spain and Morocco being UTC+1 is nuts. Even France and Algeria are stretching it a bit far for my liking. And it gets even more crazy for the European countries for over half the year when they play pretendy-magic-time and go to UTC+2.
Portugal was understandably like “nah fuck you guys”. Still like a bit lonely on a map though.
France amd Spain being +1 is apparently a relic from the 40s when Germany occupied France and the Spanish government felt they needed to switch to appease Germany. It is kinda funny neither switched back.
