How are all the time zones of the globe describe?
the difference from the prime meridian
Earth is divided into 24 standard time zones because?
All of the time zones are 15 degrees wide each. But since there are 24 time zones, and 15x24 is 360, all together they make up the 360 degrees of the globe.
Given all the different time zones across the globe and international date line how many hours can a calendar date have?
24
Do Europe and antarctica extend into the tropic time zones?
All time zones make their way through the 'topics': there is no 'tropical time zone'. Antarctica has no time zones. Research stations set their clock so as to coordinate with their support countries' time zones. There is no standard.
By which time zone are all time zones set?
Greenwich Mean Time
