What time is it in Moscow or London or Beijing? Let Google help. Using the search field located on the  Google Toolbar or on the Google homepage, simply type current time in then the city or country name - for example, current time in Moscow returns 5:59am Wednesday (MSD) - Time in Moscow, Russian Federation. Typing a country name will return the time for each time zone, for example current time in Canada returns:

Newfoundland   11:28pm    NDT    
Halifax   10:58pm    ADT    
Winnipeg   8:58pm    CDT    
Regina   7:58pm    CST    
Edmonton   7:58pm    MDT
