Earth Science - Understanding Time Zones

This video is about Earth's rotation and how time zones are used to mark that motion.

I appreciate the way you speak very clear, deliberate, English.

Excellent video about the time zones and how it all works. Very clear, informative and educational too.

Loved it. Simple, short and easy to understand. Thanks for the video ❤️

Such a great video explaining how the earth's rotation and time zones are related! Thank You!

[ramanshugovind]

A beautiful explanation about time zone, thanks sir

[ismyname_jep]

Thank you very much! This is very simple and easy to understand.

Great video very simple and one of the fastest ways to bring awareness!! Thank you

Thank you for this awesome explanation. I was thinking about how when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor it was 3 am December 8 in Japan, a day later than the 8 am December 7 historical record in Hawaii time. Sometimes it is difficult to grasp this GMT variation on Earth.

Time zones are crucial for standartizing time across countries and regions. A term “time zone” describes an area where uniform standard time isused for the legal, social or economical purpose. The time zones are not strict: they follow the boundaries of countries, because it would be inconvenient otherways.

I understand the princip of time zones but I was hoping to find an answer to the following question: What date is there in the location 180° east/west longitude? Thing is, if you travel 180° west it's supposed to be 12h later. If you travel east it actually is supposed to be 12h earlier. So, in any case between these to times there would be a difference of 24h but no difference in time. Would have been worth mentioning that there's a longitude (180°W longitude of London) that is the "turning line" of two dates. This line crosses main countrys that will differ 24h in time. All it would have taken was to also write the date on the globe that you have drawn. But still, a good video I guess.

Thank you you help me understand time zone

Lovely...its helpful for us ...Very simple way ..😘

[joshbezuidenhout]

So this is based of relativity ? Seeing as time is based on it/degrees relative to the default 0th degree longitude line.

[juless]

Thank you for this clear explanation. Science class wasn’t making sense.

[branlaser]

Thsnk you for teaching what my 5th grade teaxher can't teach.

I believe from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM UTC it is three different days on the planet earth. For example when it 11:00 PM tuesday on baker island and Howland island in the central area of the pacific ocean. It will be wednesday for the majority of the planet earth and it will be 1:00 AM on thursday for Kiribati's line islands.

Q? Why some line of time zone is not street? I think the northern pole is stretched on the world map.
