In 1884, delegates from 25 different countries met and agreed a way of dividing up the world into zones. As the earth turns, each part of the world experiences 'day time' at different times. Greenwich was chosen to be the central point, and the world was thus divided into 24 zones each 15 degrees apart (24 x 15 = 360 degrees or a full circle).
