The United Kingdom has only one time zone in their area. This time zone is called the Greenwich Mean Time, this is because the United Kingdom is smaller than other areas and does not need different time zones for the amount of land that it is made up of.
There are approximately 40 different time zones in the world though some are seasonal such as British Summer Time (BST). There are 24 standard time zones.
The earth turns once in 24 hours.
