Hi, I'm Jared with more KSN and math news you can use.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:11,000
Did you know the Earth has 24 different time zones?

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,000
I know the Earth's day is 24 hours long. Is that why we have 24 zones of time?

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:22,000
Yes, the Earth is a sphere. It is divided into 360 degrees with longitude lines.

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,000
I remember those lines are drawn north to south.

6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:36,000
The Earth turns 360 degrees in 24 hours. If you divide 360 degrees by 24 hours, it means the Earth turns 15 degrees in one hour.

7
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,000
So time zones are 15 degrees wide.

8
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,000
And that's why we have 24 time zones.

9
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,000
A long time ago, cities set their time by the sun's location at noon.

10
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Two cities a few degrees apart would still have a different time.

11
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Today, these cities are in the same time zone.

00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,000
