What is the diameter of the earth in km if you measure by time zones?
The circumference of the Earth at the equator is about 40,075 km. There are 24 time zones, so the average width at the equator for each is about 1,669.8 km. Each time zone is 15 degrees wide. The diameter of a 15 degree arc 1,669.8 km long is 1,669.8 * 15 / pi which is about 7,972.7 km. The Earth is not a sphere, and the diameter measured through the North and South poles is different, but measuring the Earth's diameter through the poles using time zones is not valid question.

How many time zones is the earth divide?
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
