Facts About The New Year That You Don't Know by PATMEKUS: 8:23am On Dec 31, 2020 |
Indeed, there are salient facts about the New Year that often go unnoticed year after year, though very necessary. Do you know that the world consists of 38 time zones? This means that the day breaks 38 times in different parts of the world. Furthermore, this implies that we celebrate the New Year 38 times every year within 26 hours, starting from 10:00 hours GMT on December 31 to 12:00 hours GMT on January 1. The first countries to celebrate the New Year on 10:00 hours GMT (11a.m Nigerian Time) on December 31 are the Pacific Island countries of Tonga, Samoa and Kiribati (Christmas Island). Nigeria celebrates her New Year by 23:00 hours GMT on December 31 with other countries on the 23rd Time Zone (GMT+01:00). The last countries to celebrate the New Year are the United States minor outlying island nations of Baker and Howland by 12:00 hours GMT on January 1 (1p.m Nigerian Time). Therefore, when congratulating one another for making it to the New Year in Nigeria for example, don't forget that more than a hundred countries on 22 Time Zones had already entered the New Year. For the records, the 38 World Time Zones include GMT/UTC+14:00, +13:45, +13:00, +12:00, +11:00, +10:30, +10:00, +09:30, +09:00, +08:45, +08:00, +07:00, +06:30, +06:00, +05:45, +05:30, +05:00, +04:30, +04:00, +03:30, +03:00, +02:00, +01:00, +00:00, -01:00, -02:00, -03:00, -03:30, -04:00, -05:00, -06:00, -07:00, -08:00, -09:00, -09:30, -10:00, -11:00 and -12:00.
