■ What is a time zone?

Worldtimefunction

There are time differences around the world based on “Coordinated Universal Time

(UTC).” There are 24 regions (Time Zones) around the world with a time difference

of one hour. This system has been adopted internationally by setting the total time

di󱐯erence around the world as 24 hours.

In addition, Daylight Saving Time (Summer Time) is individually adopted in some regions.
