Or time, as it were. The fact that a standard timekeeping system was needed to facilitate accurate legal and commercial dealings was clear to people as early as the eighteenth century.
However, early use of time zones was confusing, as different stations along a single railroad could have had different standard times, therefore, confusing passengers and even railway staff. The transportation sector sought to address that with the introduction of standard time zones for their purposes, which was partially successful. However, in , the United States began to use four standard time zones and in Britain sought to gain international acceptance for time zones around the world.
Scientists created the time zone map by studying how the Earth moves. After realizing that it spins on an axis, it was noted that the Earth rotates about 15 degrees every 60 minutes.
It makes a total rotation of degrees in 24 hours. Consequently, the time zone map was created by separating the Earth into 24 sections, with each section representing a time zone. They are 15 degrees of longitude wide to account for the distance of the rotation per hour.
