When scheduling a big event, there is little if any confusion regarding its start time.
Since the Earth is spherical, at any given time the sun will appear in different parts of the sky from different locations, and for half of the planet, it will be night. So, when it is morning on one side of the world, it is evening on the other. Before the invention of clocks, we approximated time by the position of the sun. Later, when clocks were common, each town set its own time. This worked relatively well until trains became a common form of transportation. Since each town followed its own time setting, train schedules were very confusing and disorganized, so we created a standard set of time zones to make coordinate the trains. Time zones have become even more essential since airplanes and telecommunications have emerged.
There can be a uniform and unambiguous clock setting throughout a given time zone, and a reasonably uncomplicated way of establishing the time anywhere in the world, given knowledge of a zone's variance from universal time.
The advantage is if it is 6:00 in the morning in Pennsylvania and the sun was rising than in Portland, Organ it would be 3:00 in the morning the sun would be rising
The importance of time zones is because we usually need to know what time it is around the world.
When flying to a meeting across country since there are 4main time zones you have to do a little math to make site you get there on time
It alows all places in the world to have functional hours during daylight
Texas has 2 Time Zones: Mountain Time Texas: Daylight Saving Time: This time is 6 time zones to England Standard Time: This time is 7 time zones to England Central Time Texas: Daylight Saving Time: 5 Time Zones Standard Time: 6 Time Zones
Time zones simply create a workable 'day' and 'night'. If countries didn't use time zones (and the whole planet worked on the same time), people would be going to bed at (for example) 9am just because it was dark then. Time zones bring sensibility to daily life. The only disadvantage - is having to adjust to different times when you travel overseas. For example - it might be 8am when you depart, but (after travelling through a number of time zones) - it might only be 2am local time.
Time Zones are..............................Longitude
There are 24 different time zones around the world.
time zones are divided up in
yes, because it is bigger, it goes through more time zones at once. LIke Russia is the biggest, and it has the most time zones.

Not everyone follows the particular time zone in that country.
The advantage of having a bladder for temporary storage is that you don't have to urinate every time you drink. It gives you time to get to the restroom.

You don't specify what type of zones you're talking about, but from the context "time zones" seems likely. In that case, the answer is no. Zone boundaries are ROUGHLY based on longitude, but political factors enter the equation as well (it should be obvious that having parts of the same city in different time zones would be awkward).
Divided the United States into time zones
The advantage of having no time limit in baseball means that all players on both teams can take a little extra time to regain focus or concentration. With no time limit, the players and managers can call time out whenever necessary.
Central Pacific Answer: The time zones were actually started with the railroads. The railroads had to be on time and before the universal time zones were initiated, many towns and states, ETC had their own time and railroads had a big problem trying to keep accurate time. The railroads came up with the idea of having 4 time zones for the united states.
If you mean time zones. There is one. Russia has 7 time zones.
