The general rule is that an area adopts the time of the nearest line of longitude that is a multiple of 15°, giving them an offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) that is a multiple of one hour. However, there are several places that don't follow this rule, and the local national government has the final say.
What else can I help you with?
Is latitude the basis for establishing time zones?
Time Zones are based on lines of Longitude - with detours to avoid land.
Are latitude lines used to determine time zones?
It's the lines of longitude which are used to define time zones, not lattitude.
Can a person see the lines that divide the time zones?
In general, a person cannot physically see the lines that divide time zones. They are imaginary lines used to separate regions that observe different standard times.
Where are all the time zones based on?
THEY'RE based on the location
How many time zones are in the world?
24 There are a total of 41 different time offsets used around the world every year, and they have 161 different names.

Which way to time zones run?
Time zones are based off of longitude
Why does time change in different continents?
Time changes in different continents due to the establishment of time zones. Time zones were created to standardize timekeeping around the world based on longitudinal lines. Each time zone is typically one hour ahead or behind its neighboring zones to ensure a consistent measurement of time across the globe.
Do the time zones always follow the lines of longitude?
yes

Is space time the same as earth time?
Yes and no. On earth, there are time zones based on where you are located on earth. There are no time zones in space.
How are the time zones divided up?
Time zones are divided based on lines of longitude, with each time zone roughly covering 15 degrees of longitude. There are a total of 24 time zones around the world, each one hour apart from the next, although some countries may use half or quarter-hour offsets from standard time zones. The Prime Meridian (0 degrees longitude) in Greenwich, England is the starting point for the time zone calculations.
Why are time zones as big as they are?
Political bounderies make up a huge part of why time zones don't run in straight lines. They also are as big as they are because there are 24 hours in a day and 24 time zones.
The earth is divided into time zones by lines of?
rom east to west they are Atlantic Standard Time (AST), Eastern Standard Time (EST), Central Standard Time (CST), Mountain Standard Time (MST), Pacific Standard Time (PST), Alaskan Standard Time (AKST), Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time (HST), Samoa standard time (UTC-11) and Chamorro Standard Time (UTC+10).
