Each country decides on the borders and the offsets of the time zones within its jurisdiction, including if and when daylight saving time or summer time begins and ends. Unfortunately, this has lead to such a wide variety of rules that you cannot assume a certain time offset at a certain place based solely on its longitude.
The most thorough and up-to-date resource that I have found for sorting through the variety is the Time and Date web site.
Generally speaking, every time zone can be identified by its offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). For example, the time in Tokyo is UTC + 9 hrs., and the time in New York is UTC - 5 hrs. for part of the year and UTC - 4 hrs. for part of the year.
What else can I help you with?
Each time zone differs by how many hours?
Each time zone differs by one hour from the adjacent time zone. This is to account for the Earth's rotation which causes changes in daylight and nighttime across different regions of the world.
How are time zones marked on a time zone map?
Time zones are marked on a time zone map using a series of vertical lines that represent the boundaries between each time zone. Each line indicates a change in time by one hour, with some lines extending out into the ocean to encompass specific regions. The time zones are typically labeled with the offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
How many hours per each time zone?
One
How many maridians does a time zone span?
A time zone typically spans 15 degrees of longitude, as there are 24 hours in a day and 360 degrees of longitude around the Earth. This means each time zone covers four meridians, one for each hour.
Are hours earlier or later to the west of each time zone?
EAST ; is LATER e.g. 12 noon in New York is 6:00 pm in London (England) WEST ; is EARLIER e.g. 12 noon in New York is 8:00 am in San Francisoc. Aide memoire ; think E:L ::: W:E (ELWE) or (W:E::E:L ( WEEL). All times refer to the same Day.
How many degrees are in each standard time zone?
There are 15 degrees of longitude in each standard time zone
Are the hours later to the west of each time zone?
The hours would be earlier to the west of each time zone.

How many degrees mark each time zone?
Nautical time zones are each made up of 15 degrees. Terrestrial time zones, however vary from zone to zone and country to country.
What is the estimated maximum width of the Central Standard Time Zone?
Each time zone is 1,035 miles wide.
Does each time zone have one hour of time?
nope, they all have 24
How many hours per each time zone?

Each us time zone differs by?
One hour.
How many maridians does a time zone span?

How large are each time zone?
About 1/24 the circumference of the Earth.
If the world had eighteen time zones how many degrees would each time zone have?
