Background Information on Times Zones

A day is the time it takes the Earth to spin around once on its axis. An hour is one twenty-fourth a day, so the Earth is divided into 24 standard time zones, each covering approximately 15 degrees of longitude. The time of day depends on where you are on the Earth. Hours are numbered from the Prime Meridian, or 0 degrees longitude, which passes through Greenwich, England. Time zones east of the Greenwich zone are ahead of Greenwich time. This is because the Earth spins toward the east, so that lands in the east get the sun earlier than Greenwich does. Time zones west of Greenwich are behind Greenwich time. They get the sun later than Greenwich. The boundaries of the time zones usually follow straight lines over the oceans. Every fifteenth degree of longitude marks a different time zone. On the continents, time zone boundaries usually zigzag. Some countries are so large that they cover more than one time zone. Russia stretches across 11 time zones. From the state of Maine to the state of Hawaii, the United States spreads across 7 time zones. To determine what time it is in another time zone, you must add or subtract, depending on whether you are going east or west. First, determine the time for the time zone in which you live. Next, find the time zone you want and count how many time zones away it is from yours. Now, determine if the new time zone is east or west of where you live. If it is east, add one hour for each time zone away it is from your time. If it is west, subtract one hour for each time zone away it is from your time. For example, if it is 8 A.M. where you are and you go 3 time zones east, you add 3 to 8 and get 11 A.M. in the new time zone. If it is west, it would be 8 subtract 3 for a time of 5 A.M. Using this simple formula will enable you to always know what time it is. Time Zones Practice Sheet Name _____________________________ Directions: Use your time zone map to answer these questions.
