The Earth is divided into 24 time zones, each approximately 15 degrees of longitude wide. This system creates the basis for standard time zones around the world.

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.
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.
France holds the title for the most time zones in a single country, with a total of 12. This is due to its territories and departments spread across the globe, including islands in the Pacific and Caribbean.

The United States has states in six or seven time zones (depending on the time of the year), territories in two or three additional time zones, and controls uninhabited islands in two other time zones. The total is, therefore, eleven time zones, including nine with inhabited lands.
