The US spans 4 main time zones, from west to east: Pacific Time - Mountain Time - Central Time - Eastern Time.
2 non-contiguous time zones: Alaska Time and Hawaii Islands Time, and 3 US dependencies with 3 time zones, none of which use daylight saving time.
* There is one more time zone, UTC -12, used on the Pacific Islands, Baker Island and Howland Island, Anywhere on Earth (AoE), corresponding to the US Outlying Minor Islands. more info on wiki
The letters S (standard) and D (daylight), are the acronyms that show the current period of the time zone.
