The earth is divided into 40 formal time zones, not 24 as might commonly be expected. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_time_zones for a complete list. Note that the number of time zones also varies with the season as some regions adopt daylight savings time (DST) while others (in the same time zone) choose not to use DST. This can lead to a seasonal increase or decrease in the total number of time zones.

According to PHC there are 24 Major time zones
