I'm new to Java8 Date And Time API and really curious about how a computer is aware of the time zones.
I already know a computer is aware of time by a small battery in its motherboard. Is the TimeZone
similar?

Your time, date and timezone is locally saved on your computer. Internet is used occasionally to sync with a global trusted time so your computer does not get out of sync.
