World Time Zones timezone
World time zones are a method of dividing the Earth into 24 time zones, each covering 15 degrees of longitude. This division is based on the Earth's rotation, allowing the local time at the central meridian of each time zone to be roughly synchronized with the longitude of the sun's direct rays, thereby enabling people's daily activities to be coordinated with the rising and setting of the sun. The Earth is divided into 24 time zones, each differing by 1 hour. This division starts from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), which is the reference point for world time zones, located at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London, UK. Greenwich Mean Time is also known as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which is the international time standard.
