What is the time zone? A time zone is a region of the Earth's surface that spans approximately 15 degrees of longitude and extends from the North Pole to the South Pole, where a consistent clock time is observed. Time zones serve as the foundation for standard time, which was established in the late 19th century to address the varying local times caused by the expansion of railways connecting different locations.
