If the Earth's time zones were each one hour apart, then we would have 24 time zones, which sounds pretty straightforward. However, the situation is a little more complicated than that. Since many time zones only differ by 30 or 45 minutes, they don't fit into a neat and tidy 24-hour span, which means that there are more than 24, though it's hard to say exactly how many.
That’s so true! Time zones can be way more complex than you’d think. It’s wild to consider how many different time zones there really are when you factor in those 30- and 45-minute differences!
