Political World Map - Time Zones
Political World Map - Time Zones - Time zones are regions of the world where people set their clocks to show the same time of day. This synchronization of time has many commercial, navigational, and social benefits.
By international agreement, there are 24 time zones around the world. These 24 zones are shown on the attached time zone map. In each of these zones, 12:00 noon occurs at approximately the time of solar midday. Actual solar noon occurs slightly earlier on the eastern side of the time zone and slightly later on the western side. This variation is caused by the rotation of the Earth. Time zone maps are reference maps that people use to tell the time in different parts of the world. Time zones are usually plotted on a political map of the world.
