difference between pacific time and central
The Central Time Zone does not follow such clear boundaries as the Pacific Time Zone, which roughly follows state lines. The Pacific Time zone splits Idaho in half and excludes a small section of Oregon. The Central Time Zone includes the same number of partial states as full states. On both the eastern and western boundaries, the edge of the Central Time Zone cuts five states in two: North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Texas to the west and Michigan, Indiana, Tennessee, Kentucky and Florida to the east.
