Imagine the Earth as a giant clock. When it's morning in one place, it might be evening somewhere else because the Earth spins around its axis. People started dividing the world into time zones to make life easier and avoid confusion.
Examples
- When it's lunchtime for your friend in London, you might still be having breakfast in New York.
- You call your cousin in Japan while it’s midnight on your side of the world.
- Your school day starts while it’s still dark outside in another country.
