It is called a "time zone".

A time zone is an area about 1/24th of the circumference of the Earth in width (15° of longitude) where the local time, as determined by the position of the Sun, is within the same hour, and the time in the center is used as a common standard. So each of these widths represents one of the separate 24 times on the clock (1 AM to 12 noon, 1 PM to 12 midnight). It is always some given hour somewhere in the world.
