Because the Earth is tilted on its axis. Therefore, sunlight doesn't always hit in the same spot all the time, so time zones have to be out of proportion.
All time zones are set by Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
The Mercator projection does that.
All time zones make their way through the 'topics': there is no 'tropical time zone'. Antarctica has no time zones. Research stations set their clock so as to coordinate with their support countries' time zones. There is no standard.
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.
No, all polygons have straight lines. All lines are straight
Think about this: A straight angle makes 180 degrees, right? Straight lines, when measured by a compass, are also 180 degrees. So, yes, all straight angles are straight lines.
Depends. Probably not because nothing is perfect! :)i have to disagree - the sides of crystals are straight~*Sigh*All lines are straight. A man-made one may not be, but by the correct definition, all lines are straight. Straight lines are a mathematical concept - an ideal concept - and therefore, conceptually, all lines are straight even if man-made ones are mere approximations.
If you want to get the lines straight in poptropica here are all of the steps:click the 1st 3rd and the 4th one
All time zones are set by Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
yes
No.
Yes.
No, you wouldn't be standing in any time zones. As all lines of longitude, and hence all time zones, converge on that spot. Plus the fact that the Sun only rises and sets once a year there, so in fact a day at the North Pole could be said to last a year.
There is one time zone for every 15 degrees of longitude - 24 time zones in all with each being 1 hour apart.
Straight lines. They are all infinitely long.
They are straight lines.
