Greenwich Meridian
_____________
Clarification. Each of the world's basic time zones is 15 degrees of latitude wide. It should be obvious that 15 degrees times 24 equals 360 degrees, accounting for the entire globe. The system of latitude and longitude was established in Greenwich with Greenwich at zero degrees longitude, but the time zones were defined in such a way that Greenwich is in the middle of its zone. That time zone extends for 7.5 degrees to the east and to the west of the Greenwich meridian, defining its full 15 degrees.
Since each country determines its own time zone(s), most time zone boundaries are international borders. Countries base their time zones at least loosely on the longitudes they cover, with every fifteen degrees of longitude corresponding to one hour.
The Prime Meridian that runs through Greenwich, England, is the base point for time zones.
lattitude determine the time zoes of different cities
By vertical lines, like meridians, but not always straight.
It's the lines of longitude which are used to define time zones, not lattitude.
By deviding longitude of the place by 15. Arc to time.
It depends on where you are the time zones do not run I straight lines
It depends on the specific time zone in Mania. Mania is not recognized as a time zone, so it is necessary to determine the country or region in Mania and then compare its time zone to Eastern time to find the specific time difference.
no
So that the time in the country of that time zone doesn't change.
lattitude lines help determine the pattern in which climates follow
The reason why the time zone lines follow irregular paths rather than straight lines, is to allow a number of small countries and islands to maintain a single time zone rather than being divided by these time zone lines. If an island is not very large, it just seems silly and a needless bother to have two time zones. So we just route the time zone line around it.

The Prime Meridian (0 degrees longitude) and the International Date Line (180 degrees longitude) determine time zones across the globe. Time zones are typically one hour apart for every 15 degrees of longitude difference.
