Task 5 - Time Zones
The Time ZonesWhen the sun shines on one part of the world, it is day. However, during that same time-period, in another part of the world, it is night. The world has been divided into different Time Zones so that the same hour of the day in every country is in the same part of the day. For example, if it is 9 a.m. where we live, if we were in China, it would be dark. Some large countries may have more than one time zone. Most smaller countries have just one.
The world didn't have time zones for thousands of years. People didn't even keep track of time very much. Hour glasses and water clocks and sundials helped them do this somewhat. When watches were invented, people became more aware of time. In 1878, Sanford Fleming suggested that the world be divided into 24 time zones, each one hour apart. The dividing lines run north to south. |
