Question

Why do some countries have more than one time zone.name two such countries?

Answer 1

Time zones are based on the fact that it takes one hour for the earth to rotate 15 degrees on its axis. This means that if the sun is at its zenith at some location (local noon—when it is at highest part of its arc across the sky) it is an hour later 15 degrees of longitude east of that point and an hour earlier 15 degrees of longitude west of that point.

That means that large countries that span more than 30 degrees of longitude usually have different time zones. Although there are a couple of countries that ignore this and have only one time zone for political reasons.

UTC−10:00 French Polynesia

UTC−09:30 Marquesas Islands

Answer 2
