It happens because we all like midday - 12 noon - to be the time when the Sun is highest in the sky at our location.
But when it's midday in West Europe, it's 3 am in Los Angeles because they are way over to the west on the other side of the Earth. Over there they like to set their clocks 9 hours later so they still have midday at 12 noon, 9 hours after we have ours in Europe.
There is a time-zone for every 15 degrees of latitude, so 24 time zones in total.
