hey friend here is ur answer
Explanation:
We can’t change time. But we can label it. So sometimes we do and sometimes we don’t. I think you’re talking about the local time zones we use around the world. They’re based on Longitude. Since there are 360 degrees of Longitude and 90 of those fall between 30 and 120 degrees, there’s a six-hour difference in local time. We can label that difference however we want but since we’re using West Longitude for the question, we’d label 10 am at 30 West as 4 am at 120 West.
It’s kind of nonsensical, though. Since longitudes all converge at the North and South Poles, the 24 local Time Zones do too. If we stand at either Pole, we can “pass through” all 24 zones in the time it takes to do a pirouette.
It’s odd that we think we need to “adjust” time for the fact that at any given time, the sun is up over some places and not up over others. We seem able to adjust ourselves for the fact that if we’re going to Rio de Janeiro in January, we probably won’t pack a parka. And if we’re moving around the world in concert with other movement around the world (logistics) we all move to the same local time - GMT - Greenwich Mean Time.
I suppose there’s reason for using local times to help make our way in the world. I thought maybe “body clock” would be a good one but then, what about “Shift Workers?” Or a parent who’s been up all night with a crying baby?
