Why are there half hour time zones?
Your question interested because as dumb as I feel, I didn't know that there was half hour time zones, so I researched it and found out why. The only way for me to explain it is to explain the purpose of time zones in the first place, and by the way I found out they are called "offset time zones" and they can be thirty minutes or even fifteen minutes. There is twenty four time zones in the world which are based on the fifteen degree increments of longitude. This is because the earth takes twenty four hours to rotate and there are 360 degrees of longitude so 360 divided by 24 equals 15. So the sun moves across 15 degrees of longitude in an hour. The offset time zones were designed to better coordinate noon as the point in the day when the sun is at its highest point in the sky, which is what our time zones revolve around... I hope this answers your question! Reference About.com: Geography - Offset Time Zones. http:/geography.about.com/od/culturalgeography/a/offsettimezones.htm.
