# Time Zones **Definition:** Time zones are regions of Earth that observe the same standard time. The world is divided into 24 time zones, each generally covering 15° of longitude (since 360° ÷ 24 hours = 15° per hour). Time zones are measured as offsets from **Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)**, ranging from UTC-12 to UTC+14. ## Worked Example **Question:** A live concert starts at 8:00 PM in New York (UTC-5). What time should a viewer in Tokyo (UTC+9) tune in to watch it live? **Solution:** - Time difference = UTC+9 - (UTC-5) = 9 - (-5) = **14 hours ahead** - Tokyo time = 8:00 PM + 14 hours = 8:00 PM + 14:00 - 8:00 PM = 20:00 in 24-hour format - 20:00 + 14:00 = 34:00 = **10:00 AM the next day** **Answer:** The viewer in Tokyo should tune in at 10:00 AM the following morning.
