Time Zones Around the World The world is big. There are many countries and many time zones. A time zone is a region with the same time. When it is daytime in one place, it can be night in another place. Example of Time Zones: In New York, the time is 8 AM. In London, the time is 1 PM. In Tokyo, the time is 10 PM. When you travel, you change time zones. This can be confusing. For example, if you fly from New York to London, you need to change your watch. You arrive in London in the afternoon, but it is still morning in New York. Why Are There Time Zones? The Earth rotates. This means different parts of the world see the sun at different times. To make life easier, we use time zones.
