Railroads, but notably the corruption within the transportation industry.
The earth is divided among 40 time zones (not 24) because before standard time started catching on in the late 1800s each of the thousands of cities kept its own time, and that started to get confusing as technology started making transportation and communication faster.
Because a man missed his train and wanted a better way to control time.
Because the continental united states HAS four time zones.
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the organization that determines and regulates worldwide time zones. The ITU coordinates with countries to establish and maintain accurate timekeeping standards for different regions.
Communication and transportation were so slow that it didn't matter that every city was on a different time.
yes, because it is bigger, it goes through more time zones at once. LIke Russia is the biggest, and it has the most time zones.
There are 39 time zones because the Earth is divided into 24 longitudinal sections, each representing one hour of time difference. However, some regions choose to use a half-hour or quarter-hour offset from neighboring time zones, leading to 39 distinct time zones worldwide.
Time zones were established to create a standardized way of measuring time across different regions. This was important for coordinating transportation schedules, communication, and other activities that required accurate timing. Time zones also helped to optimize efficiency and reduce confusion caused by having different times in neighboring areas.
Because of the time zones
