Okay, so, I got curious about the time difference between Brazil and Colombia. You know, just one of those random things that pop into your head. I figured I’d do a little digging and share what I found.
First, I grabbed my phone and opened up my favorite search engine. Typed in “Brazil Colombia time difference.” Right off the bat, I saw a bunch of websites talking about how Brazil is generally two hours ahead of Colombia. But then I noticed something—Brazil has multiple time zones. That threw me off a bit.
So, I dug a little deeper. I found this one site that let me put in specific cities. I typed in “Sao Paulo” for Brazil and “Bogota” for Colombia. Turns out, Sao Paulo is indeed two hours ahead of Bogota. That made sense.
- I tried a few other cities too, just to be sure.
- Brasilia, Brazil, is also two hours ahead of Bogota.
Then I stumbled upon some stuff about how each degree of longitude accounts for a four-minute time difference. If it’s noon in Greenwich, it would be 12:04 pm at 1 degree meridian. I guess that’s how it all works on a global scale, but I only focused on Brazil and Colombia.
I also read that if you’re in Brasilia and want to schedule a meeting with someone in Bogota, the best time is between 11:00 am and 6:00 pm Brasilia time. That’s good to know if I ever need to call someone over there.
Findings
Basically, what I learned is that for the most part, when people talk about the time difference between Brazil and Colombia, they’re referring to the time in Sao Paulo, which is two hours ahead of Bogota. But it’s always good to double-check, especially if you’re dealing with other cities in Brazil.
It was a fun little research project. You never know when this kind of information might come in handy. Maybe I’ll plan a virtual game night with friends in both countries. Now I know how to coordinate the timing!
