Time zones are regions of the Earth that have the same standard time. The world is divided into 24 time zones, each generally 15 degrees of longitude apart.

Key facts about time zones:

• UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the primary time standard
• GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is often used interchangeably with UTC
• Time zones east of UTC are ahead, west of UTC are behind
• Some regions observe Daylight Saving Time, shifting clocks by 1 hour
