There are 24 standard World Time Zones from -12 UTC (-1 day) through 0 (GMT) to +12 UTC (+1 day). Each one is exactly 15 degrees of Longitude as measured East and West from the Prime Meridian of the World at Greenwich, England. If you count the International date line twice -- once at -12 UTC then again at +12 UTC then there are 25 time zones.
However, some countries have adopted non-standard time zones, such as a 30 minutes offset while some countries outside of a designated time zone boundary have adopted the timezone of neighboring countries such as the Central European Time (CET) timezone where for example Spain is within the same time zone as England (GMT) but rather uses UTC+1 to be in sync with rest of central Europe. That means if you travel south from England to Spain you would need to set your clocks to local time when you arrive.

How many degrees of longitude do you need to travel across to pass through one hour time zone?
There are 24 time zones. Divide 360 degrees longitude by 24 and you get 15 degrees for each one-hour time zone.
What average time zone is about 360 degrees wide?
None. No one time zone is 360 degrees that would mean the whole world is one huge time zone.
What time zone region Canada is in?
it is in eastern,middle, mountain and pacific time zone
How many degrees of longitude equal 1 time zone?
A polar view of the planet is roughly circular, that is, a total 360 degrees. There are about 24 hours in each day. Divide 360 by 24; the answer is 15, so there are 15 degrees of longitude in each time zone.
How many degrees on a map do you have to move to enter a new time zone?
It depends on where you are the time zones do not run I straight lines
How many degrees are in each standard time zone?
There are 15 degrees of longitude in each standard time zone
How many degrees mark each time zone?
Nautical time zones are each made up of 15 degrees. Terrestrial time zones, however vary from zone to zone and country to country.
How many degrees of latitude in a time zone?
15 drgrees
How many degrees of longitude do you need to travel across to pass through one hour time zone?
There are 24 time zones. Divide 360 degrees longitude by 24 and you get 15 degrees for each one-hour time zone.
If the world had eighteen time zones how many degrees would each time zone have?
20
How many degrees of longitude are included in the complete time zone of earth?
15
What average time zone is about 360 degrees wide?
None. No one time zone is 360 degrees that would mean the whole world is one huge time zone.
If days had 36 hours how many degrees of longitude would each time zone be?
If a day had 36 hours instead of 24, each time zone would cover 30 degrees of longitude instead of the current 15 degrees. This is because the Earth rotates 360 degrees in 24 hours, so with 36 hours in a day, each hour of difference would correspond to 30 degrees of longitude.
How many degrees of longitude equal 1 time zone?
A polar view of the planet is roughly circular, that is, a total 360 degrees. There are about 24 hours in each day. Divide 360 by 24; the answer is 15, so there are 15 degrees of longitude in each time zone.
Is a time belt is 15 degrees of latitude wide?
A time belt, or zone, is 15 degrees of longitude wide.
How many degrees of longitude exist in one time zone?
Well, if everybody played nice, the answer would be 15°.
If there were 20 time zones how wide would each time zone be?
20*15 degrees=300 degrees wide
