it starts with technical early adopters choosing to use it. At some point it would actually become an
official alternative via publication of an Internet RFC and adding the new time zones into the
Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Time Zone Database files. The Time Zone Database feeds
the time zone conversions used by computers including servers, desktops, phones and embedded devices.
There are normal variations of a matter of minutes between local solar noon and clock noon, depending on
the latitude and time of year. That variation is always the same number of minutes as local solar noon
differs from noon UTC at the same latitude on the Prime Meridian (0° longitude), due to seasonal effects
of the tilt in Earth's axis relative to our orbit around the Sun.
The Solaer time zones also have another set of overlay time zones the width of 1 degree of longitude, which puts
them in 4-minute intervals of time. These are a hyper-local niche for potential use by outdoor events or activities
which must be scheduled around daylight. They can also be used by anyone who wants the middle of the scheduling day
to coincide closely with local solar noon.
## Definition of Solar time zones
The Solar time zones definition includes the following rules.
- There are 24 hour-based Solar Time Zones, named West12, West11, West10, West09 through East12. East00 is equivalent to UTC. West00 is an alias for East00.
- Hour-based time zones are spaced in one-hour time increments, or 15 degrees of longitude.
