Each country decides on the borders and the offsets of the time zones within its jurisdiction, including if and when daylight saving time or summer time begins and ends. Unfortunately, this has lead to such a wide variety of rules that you cannot assume a certain time offset at a certain place based solely on its longitude.
The most thorough and up-to-date resource that I have found for sorting through the variety is the Time and Date web site.
Generally speaking, every time zone can be identified by its offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). For example, the time in Tokyo is UTC + 9 hrs., and the time in New York is UTC - 5 hrs. for part of the year and UTC - 4 hrs. for part of the year.

∙ 11y agoTime zone maps are centered in London where the time is called Greenwhich Mean Time (GMT). From there east and west, the time that the sun takes to travel around the globe is divided in to 24 hour separated time zones that are labled by their + or - GMT number. Maps of these time zones can be found easily online by searching a website such as Google images.

∙ 12y agoThere are 24 different time zones. Each time zone represent the hours of the day (because there are 24 hours in a day). This is because of the earths rotation.
