Ohio uses the Eastern Time Zone, which is abbreviated as ET. The Eastern Time Zone is one of the nine standard time zones in North America, and it is based on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) minus 5 hours during Eastern Standard Time (EST) and minus 4 hours during Eastern Daylight Time (EDT).
Living in Ohio myself, I can attest to the fact that we follow Eastern Time. This means that our clocks are set to the time that is five hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC-5) during standard time, which typically occurs from the first Sunday in November until the second Sunday in March. During daylight saving time, which usually starts on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November, we adjust our clocks forward by one hour, making our time zone UTC-4.
The Eastern Time Zone is used by several states in the northeastern and southeastern parts of the United States, including Ohio. It extends from the borders of Indiana and Michigan in the west to the Atlantic Ocean in the east. Ohio shares the Eastern Time Zone with neighboring states such as Pennsylvania, New York, and Michigan (in certain parts).
Using the Eastern Time Zone has its advantages, such as being synchronized with many other major cities in the region, including New York City, Washington D.C., and Atlanta. This consistency in time allows for better coordination and communication between different areas within the same time zone.
Ohio uses the Eastern Time Zone, abbreviated as ET. This time zone follows Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) minus 5 hours during standard time and minus 4 hours during daylight saving time. Living in Ohio, I can personally vouch for the use of Eastern Time and the convenience it brings in terms of synchronization with neighboring states and major cities in the region.
