A time zone is a geographical area on Earth where all the clocks have the same standard time. Time zones are established to avoid confusion when communicating the time across different regions, especially in a world where people and events are increasingly global. There are 24 primary time zones that are roughly 15 degrees of longitude wide and are based on the position of the Sun relative to the Prime Meridian.
