Calculation method: The difference between the standard time (instant zone number) of two time zones is the time difference, and the time zone with larger value is earlier. When China and Beijing were the East Eighth District, Spanish was the East First District.

So the time difference = Beijing (+8)- Spain (+1)=7, and Beijing is 7 hours faster than Spain. If Beijing time is 8: 00 a.m., Spain time is 1 p.m. that morning.

However, daylight saving time is implemented in Spain. From the first Sunday of 10, daylight saving time is implemented, and the Spanish clock is put forward one hour. At this time, the time difference will become 6 hours. For example, Beijing time is 8: 00 a.m. and Spain time is 2: 00 a.m. that day.

Daylight saving time will end on the first Sunday in April, and the time difference between the two places will be restored to 7 hours.

Extended data

The earth rotates from west to east, and the sun is seen earlier in the east than in the west, and the time in the east is earlier than in the west. In order to overcome the time confusion, 1884 held an international longitude conference in Washington, D.C. (also known as the International Meridian Conference), which stipulated that the world should be divided into 24 time zones (east and west 12 time zones).

Britain (the former site of Greenwich Observatory) is defined as the central time zone (zero time zone), the east 1- 12 zone, and the west 1- 12 zone. Each time zone spans longitude 15 degrees and the time is exactly 1 hour.

The last east and west zones 12 span longitude of 7.5 degrees, and are bounded by east and west longitude 180 degrees. The time on the central meridian of each time zone is the time uniformly adopted in this time zone, which is called time zone, and the time difference between two adjacent time zones is 1 hour.

For example, the time in China East Zone 8 is always 1 hour earlier than that in Thailand East Zone 7 and 1 hour later than that in Japanese East Zone 9.

However, it is worth noting that at present, nearly 1 10 countries in the world implement daylight saving time every year. That is, a system that artificially sets local time for energy conservation. During the implementation of this system, people usually advance the time by one hour in the early summer, which can make people get up early and go to bed early, reduce the amount of lighting, make full use of lighting resources, and thus save lighting electricity.

So the time difference between the two time zones will be fast 1 hour.
