17. * The Earth is currently
divided into 24 major
time zones so that
everyone in the world
can be on roughly
similar schedules (noon
being roughly when
the sun is highest in
the sky).
* The idea to divide the
Earth into time zones
was proposed by the
Canadian railway
planner and engineer
Sir Sanford Fleming
(1827 - 1915) in the
1870’s.
18. * Time zones were first used on November 18,
1883 by railroads in order to make their
schedules less confusing.
* World time zones were determined in 1884, at
an international conference in Washington,
D.C.

20. * Daylight Saving Time begins for most of the United
States at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday of April. Time
reverts to standard time at 2 a.m. on the last Sunday
of October. In the U.S., each time zone switches at a
different time.
* The main purpose of Daylight Saving Time (called
"Summer Time" many places in the world) is to make
better use of daylight. We change our clocks during
the summer months to move an hour of daylight from
the morning to the evening. Countries have different
change dates.
