Question

into how many time zones is earth divided?
a) 360
b) 15
c) 12
d) 24

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The Earth rotates 360 degrees in 24 hours, so each time zone is approximately 15 degrees of longitude (360/24 = 15). But the number of time zones the Earth is divided into is 24, corresponding to the 24 hours in a day. Option A (360) is the total degrees of longitude, B (15) is the width of each time zone in degrees, and C (12) is incorrect. So the correct answer is D.

Answer:

D) 24
