So I understand that there are time zones and the time at any given moment varies across locations, BUT is there a more subtle difference from place to place? For example, does southern California and northern California have like a time difference of a couple seconds or something like that? Is every location, no matter how far from each other, slightly different? Because, for me, it doesn’t make sense that there is just some line that you cross and all of a sudden you’re 1 hour ahead or 2 hours ahead etc.

If everyone set their watches by the sun, local time would vary by 1 hour for every 15 degree of longitude (east/west position). Latitude (north/south position) does not affect local time.
