Time Zone Maps in Different Languages
Do you know how many time zones there are in the world? There are 24 time zones, generally centered on meridians of longitude (a multiple of 15 degrees). All other time zones of the world are defined in comparison to Universal Time (UT).
Universal Time (UT) is essentially the Prime Meridian time, earlier called GMT. It is generally stated using 24-hour notation (in terms of the number of hours, minutes, and seconds that have passed since midnight in the Greenwich Time Zone). The Prime Meridian line at zero degrees of longitude runs from the North Pole, passing through the old observatory in Greenwich (located in the United Kingdom’s London). As per an international agreement of 1884, UT (earlier called GMT) is considered as the world standard for longitude.
This means you can know the time at any location or any time zone by calculating it with respect to the time in Greenwich (London, England), located at 0° of longitude or at the Prime Meridian. Universal Time (UT) is the reference time zone from which all other time zones across the globe are calculated.

While the prime meridian line is at 0° of longitude, the international date line (an imaginary line on the Earth's surface) is around 180° of longitude (which starts from the Prime Meridian in either east or west). In some places, the international date line looks like a zigzag line. Its path is adjusted so that this imaginary line doesn’t pass through any populated area of the world. This line is very important for time calculation in various time zones and locations.
If you move to the west from the international dateline, you’ll move one day forward. If you move to the east from the international date line, you’ll move one day forward. If you move to the west from the international dateline, you’ll move one day back.
