Imagine what the mess must have been like before we adopted the Time Zone system! Every town had its own time, usually based on solar time. Train schedules were arcane. Especially today, with so much depending on electronic communications systems, a clear and uniform time system is essential. The US has more than 3, if you consider Hawaii, far out in the Pacific Ocean. The time zones are 15 degrees of longitude wide. There are 24 hours in a day, 24 time zones, and 24 X 15 completes the full 360 degrees around the planet. Incidentally, the International Date Line is right in the middle of its time zone. Think abot that for a while.
