Whats a standard time zone?

Question

Whats a standard time zone?

Answer 1

It's a section where everyone is on the same time.

I must take exception to Wikipedia here. According to one of the answerers here, it states there are 24 standard time zones. Theoretically, that is correct. However, there are actually more than 24 time zones. There are zones which are thirty minutes off, such as Burma (Myanmar), the central part of Australia, and Newfoundland in Canada. There is a section east of the International Date Line, in the South Pacific Ocean, in which the time is the same as it is west of the Date Line but it's a day earlier.

How many standard time zones are there exactly? I don't know.

Answer 2

Since the global Earth (360 degrees) is divided into 24 time zones to accomplish a 24 hour day, each time zone is 15 degrees wide.  The day changes at the International date line in the western Pacific Ocean.

Answer 3

yes it refers to time zones without daylight saving.

Answer 4

A time zone is a region of Earth that has adopted the same standard time, usually referred to as "local time".   There are 24 time zones (one for each hour of the day).  Adjacent time zones differ by one hour.  

The standard time is computed as an offset from the Coordinated Universal Time, which is the solar time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London.

Answer 5

I am guessing it is the time zone without the daylight savings hours.
