The earth gets light and
dark at approximately the same time all over the world, so it is necessary to
adjust the clocks. If we did not do this, you might find that dawn was at 10pm.
In the year 1884 time zones were set
up around the world, measured from Greenwich in London. Each time zone on the
east or west of Greenwich has a different time.
Each zone is either one
hour ahead or one hour behind its neighbouring zone – it is one hour earlier to
the west of each zone, and one hour later to the east. One example of the time
difference is, when it is 12 noon in Malaysia it is 1pm in Seoul, Korea.
Fact: When people travel long distances by fast jet plane they often get a
feeling of confusion which is known as jet
lag. The reason for this is because modern aircraft travel so fast that
they may cross several time zones in a short time during a flight. It may take
a couple of days for your brain to adjust.
