UTC+14:00
open-in-new
<p>UTC+14:00 is an identifier for a <a href="/facts/UTC_offset/AyP6FDMd">time offset from UTC</a> of +14:00. This is the earliest time zone on <a href="/facts/Earth/HLLmDfj0">Earth</a>, meaning that areas in this zone are the first to see a new day, and therefore the first to celebrate a <a href="/facts/New_Year/9KAPDxn6">New Year</a>. It is also referred to as the "latest time zone" on Earth, as clocks in it always show the 'latest' (i.e., most advanced) time of all time zones. </p><p>UTC+14:00 stretches as far as 30° east of the <a href="/facts/180th_meridian/k7soYp1n">180° longitude</a> line and creates a large fold in the <a href="/facts/International_Date_Line/Q79urxjd">International Date Line</a> around the Pacific nation of <a href="/facts/Kiribati/jCeCKakL">Kiribati</a>. </p>
