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
There are 24 main time zones on Earth
there are 12 timee zones
That is probably because we divide the day into 24 hours.
24
There are a total of 24 time zones based on the 360 degrees of longitude around the Earth. Each time zone is approximately 15 degrees in width, with the prime meridian at 0 degrees serving as the reference point for Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
Yes and no. On earth, there are time zones based on where you are located on earth. There are no time zones in space.
There are 24 time zones.
The Earth is divided into 24 time zones, each approximately 15 degrees of longitude wide. This system creates the basis for standard time zones around the world.
24, One for each hour of the day.
Earth is divided into 24 time zones. A time zone is a region with uniform standard time so areas near that location can keep the same time. Most time zones on land are offset by Coordinated Universal Time, or UTC, by a the whole hour (UTC-12 to UTC+14).
the latitudes and longitudes are used to indicate the location and extension of a country or continent.longitudes influence the time of a place and divides the earth into various time zones whereas latitudes influence the duration of day and night and divide the earth into different time zones
Hours are arbitrary, man-made divisions of time. There are 24 time zones on earth--the result of dividing the earth into 24 longitudinal segments.
