41 different time offsets (from Coordinated Universal Time, or UTC) are used in the officially inhabited land areas worldwide. 38 of them are in use from March to September, and 39 of them are in use from September to March.

The 41 offsets are, from lowest (farthest behind) to highest (farthest ahead), -11, -10, -9:30, -9, -8, -7, -6, -5, -4:30, -4, -3:30 (November to March only), -3, -2:30 (March to November only), -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3, +3:30 (September to March only), +4, +4:30, +5, +5:30, +5:45, +6, +6:30, +7, +8, +8:45, +9, +9:30, +10, +10:30, +11, +11:30, +12, +12:45 (April to September only), +13, +13:45 (September to April only) and +14.

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.


In how many time zones is the earth divided?

The Earth is divided into 24 time zones, each representing a one-hour difference in time. This system allows for worldwide coordination of activities and helps to keep time consistent across different regions.


How many times zones does the world have?

One would think the answer is 24. But no. There are a total of 55 about time zones in the world. Why so many? Each country decides their specific time. Most will adhere to a regional time zone, bit many will countries and regions that have their own time zones that are off by 30 minutes from the time zone around them such as Newfoundland, Venezuela, India, and Iran. Some are off by 15 minutes such as Nepal. In the Pacific several islands have their own time zones. They will share the same time as a neighboring island, but they are one calendar day ahead or behind their neighbors.
