Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia - general information

The duration of an earthly day is determined by the time it takes the Earth to rotate around its axis, and is 24 hours. The consequence of the rotation of the Earth is both the change of day and night, and the fact that when moving from west to east at 15 ° longitude, local solar time, determined by the apparent position of the Sun, increases by 1 hour.
IN Everyday life official local time, which is more or less different from the sun. The entire surface of the Earth is divided into time zones (in other terminology - time zones). Within the same time zone, the same time is used. The boundaries of time zones are determined by considerations of convenience and, as a rule, coincide with interstate or administrative boundaries. The time difference between neighboring time zones is usually one hour, although in some cases the time in neighboring time zones differs by two or more hours. There is also a time shift of 30 or 45 minutes.
For most countries, the entire territory of the country is within the same time zone. The territory of countries stretching from west to east for a considerable distance, such as Russia, USA, Canada, Brazil and a number of others, is usually divided into several time zones. The exception is China, throughout which Peking time is used.
The reference point for determining the time zone offset in time is Coordinated Universal Time or UTC. UTC corresponds to mean solar time at the zero or Greenwich meridian. Time zone offsets from UTC range from UTC-12:00 to UTC+14:00.
Almost all countries in Europe and North America, as well as a number of other countries, set their clocks forward an hour in the spring, to summer time, and in autumn - an hour ago, on winter time. The offset of the respective time zones from UTC changes twice a year. However, most countries in the world do not practice such a clock change.

I have long wanted to visit Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. The only thing that was alarming was the time difference with Moscow. I finished school a long time ago and, to be honest, I completely forgot how many time zones separated these cities. But interest overcame all fears.

It turned out that it is in the latest for Russia, 9 time zone. This news did not make me happy. It was scary to imagine that when I boarded the plane in Moscow late in the evening, the morning of the next day had already come in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, and people were in a hurry to work. At 9 o'clock forward, you need to move the hands of the clock upon arrival in this city.

I didn’t manage to prepare for such a sharp change in time zones in Moscow, because no one canceled work, so I had to adapt to the new rhythm of life on the spot. In the first days of my stay in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, I had to experience in all its glory such a phenomenon as jetlag. At night I didn’t want to sleep at all, but during the day I felt like a sleepy fly. From this appeared lethargy, dizziness, irritability. But I adapted pretty quickly.


So what can you do to quickly adjust to the new time zone? I would like to give some advice from my practice:

  • set the clock while still on the plane;
  • walk more on fresh air;
  • do not drink coffee and energy drinks to cheer up;
  • eat more light food;
  • limit your nap time or avoid it altogether;
  • do exercises in the morning and afternoon, but in the evening physical exercise contraindicated.
