Why are there time zones in the world?
Time zones were introduced to create a consistent way of measuring and representing time around the world.
The main reasons for introducing time zones are:
-
Standardization of Timekeeping: Before time zones were introduced, different cities and regions used their own local time based on the position of the sun. This resulted in a plethora of different times, making it difficult to coordinate communications, trade, transportation, and other international activities.
- Simplification of timetables and communication: The introduction of time zones makes it easier to plan and coordinate timetables for trains, planes and other means of transport. Communication between different places is also facilitated since one can refer to a specific time regardless of geographic location.
-
Economic advantages: Time zones allow international business activities and trade relations to run smoothly. Establishing common working hours in different countries allows companies to work and do business more efficiently.
- Navigation and Travel: Time zones are also important for navigation and accurate timekeeping while travelling. When moving across different time zones, the time zones can be used to make time corrections to determine the exact local time.
What does the abbreviation UTC stand for in time zones?
UTC stands for "Coordinated Universal Time". It is a global time standard from which times in time zones around the world are derived. The current time in a time zone is also officially expressed by the time difference to UTC. Before the introduction of UTC, GMT functioned as the global time standard.
How many time zones are there in the world?
A day is known to consist of 24 hours. Therefore, most people assume that there are 24 time zones in the world. But that's not entirely correct: there are currently a total of 38 time zones in the world! The earth is basically divided into 24 time zones. Each time zone usually spans about 15 degrees of longitude, separated by one hour. 24 time zones times 15 degrees of longitude equal 360 degrees around the world. There are also 14 other, smaller time zones. Partly due to political decisions, partly due to geographical conditions in certain countries or regions.
Why are there 38 time zones in the world - and not 24?
Three time zones are doubled by the International Date Line. The International Date Line crosses the Pacific Ocean on its way from the North to the South Pole. However, it does not run along a time zone boundary, but cuts the time zone opposite the Prime Meridian in two halves: UTC+12 and UTC-12.
In addition, the border does not run dead straight from pole to pole. In order to satisfy political and geographic circumstances, it partially extends into two additional time zones and thus creates the time shifts UTC+13 and UTC+14.
In addition, some countries and territories have a time difference of half an hour or even a quarter of an hour. So in India it is 5:30 hours later than UTC. In Newfoundland, Canada, it's 2:30 hours earlier. Examples of quarter-hour time zones are Nepal (UTC+4:45) and New Zealand's Chatham Islands (UTC+12:45, +13:45 in daylight saving time).
