Brazil has four different time zones because of the the vast longitudinal extent of the country. The time zones are behind the Greenwich Meridian Time by 2, 3, 4 or 5 hours. The people living in these places set their time according to the time zone they are in.
In Brazil, these are the zones UTC-2 to UTC-5. The largest and best known is "Brasilia Time" with UTC-3, in which the metropolises of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and the capital Brasilia are located.
