Time difference on Earth depends on which parts of the earth are facing the sun, the parts facing directly too the sun would be in mid day/12am and the opposite side of this would me at midnight/12pm and so on.

How are time zones related to earths rotation?
Earth's surface is divided into 360 degrees of longitude: 180 degrees east west of the Prime Meridian. Since Earth rotates at a steady rate on about 24 hours, its 24 standard time zones are centered the same number of degrees of longitude apart.The number is 15.
What is Earth rotation?
The rotation of the Earth is the Earth spinning on its axis, the pole extending from north to south, once every 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 seconds, roughly. Revolution is the word describing earth's yearly orbit around the sun. There are several implications of the Earth's rottation, for example: days and nights, timezones, different length of the daytime during the year (it's because rotation, revolution and axial tilt of the Earth). You can observe Earth's rotation, solar time changing, seasonal Earth's time changing etc. on Earth Time Clock (see: related links)
Rotation time of earth?
23hours 56minutes and about 4seconds
What is the difference in arrival time between P and S waves equivalent to?
This value is related to the distance of the seismometer station from the earthquake's epicentre. The larger the difference in arrival times, the greater the distance.
Earths axis of rotation is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degreeswhat is one change you would see on earth if its axis was not tilted?
There would be many changes. First there would be only one season all the time with minor differences when Earth is at perihelion and aphelion. The time of sunrise and sunset would not change and at the equator there would be 12h or night and day.
What is the difference between earth's rotation and facing time?
by the earths rotation around the sun and the pattern in day and night and how the earth moves and how the earth revolves and rotate around the sun.

How were time zones designed?
because of the earths rotation and revolution.
How much sunlight reaches a location at a particular time is determined by earths shape and what?
the earths shape and its rotation
How the earth movements affect climate?
earths axis is little tilted which makes its rotation different at different points of time. this change in rotation and the significant difference of distant between the earth and the sun affects the climate
The longitude of a determines which time zone it is in different time zones are the result of?
earths rotation
The longitude of a location determines which time zone it is in different time zones are the result of?
earths rotation
The is caused by the earths rotation?
Earth's rotation is slowing slightly with time; thus, a day was shorter in the past. This is due to the tidal effects the Moon has on Earth's rotation.
What causes the sun to rise at different time throughout the year?
beacuse of the earths rotation
Which measure of time is related to the length of earth rotation?
The day.
Why are there separate time zones?
This is because of the earths rotation. Sunrise and sunset occur at different times in different places
Difference between revolutions in general and political revolutions?
what is the rotation on the axis time
