Is there a time difference everywhere?

937 views

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.

Time, as we track it, is our own invention. We get to say what time it is somewhere. Is the time different place to place when we compare where we are to the sun and moon? Yes. But we set the time zones, which we do hour to hour, so differences of minutes don’t make a difference.
