Actually, all “standard” time means is that the time is somewhat related to the sun being directly overhead at noon. I say “somewhat” because once you carve the world up into zones like that, the sun will never be directly overhead at noon except maybe in the middle of the zone. Did you know China has only one time zone? The entire huge country runs on Beijing time. The far west of the country sometimes doesn’t see a sunrise until 10 AM. So, there is really nothing “standard” about Standard Time at all.
