![]() ![]() Imagine the chaos this would cause: without agreeing on standard time, we wouldn’t be able to agree on, well, anything else. Without a standard time that all countries in a time zone must observe, the countries would never observe at the same time. This is because time zones aren’t about longitude but rather, latitude due to the rotation of the Earth.Īs you can imagine, noon is at different times in each country, which means that noon (12 PM) would be observed at different times from country to country corresponding to their position West or East. Time zones run horizontally rather than vertically: Moscow and Paris will have different time zones, but Cape Town and Madrid observe the same time. This way, it will be the same hour in all the countries and the cities in the particular time zone they observe.
