THEY'RE based on the location
No, the time is not the same all over the world. Different regions have different time zones based on their longitudinal position on the Earth. This is why we have time zones to account for the variation in time as you move east or west.
Time Zones are based on lines of Longitude - with detours to avoid land.
All time zones are set by Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
No, time zones are based on 15 degrees longitude, because there are 360 degrees of longitude on the globe and 24 hours a day, so 360/24 makes 15. But, there are 24 time zones for 25 times (-12, -11, ... -1, 0, +1, ... +11, +12) and half-hour and quarter-hour variations so it really isn't based on anything.
There were no time zones anywhere in the world before the United States railroads set up the system. Before time zones all clocks were set to local time based on when the sun reached noon in that town. This made it impossible for the railroads to create workable train schedules throughout their entire system. Time zones made it possible to schedule trains and keep them operating on schedule.

Yes and no. On earth, there are time zones based on where you are located on earth. There are no time zones in space.

Fleming did not name any time zones, and his idea was adopted by all countries, so names were given later. Nunavut covers 3 time zones, Mountain, Central, and Eastern, so it can be either 5, 6, or 7 hours behind GMT.

All continents have time zones. It is just that the continents are so big that they have many time zones in them.

No, a show airing in different time zones will typically be broadcast at the same local time across each time zone. This means viewers in different time zones will see the show at different times based on their local time.

Time zones are primarily based on longitude rather than latitude. The Earth is divided into 24 longitudinal sections, each representing one hour of time difference. This allows for a standardized way to coordinate time across the globe.
