the earth is spherical in shape, so the rays of the sun cant touch every part of it at the same time, this y earth rotates and revolves round the sun, such that not only a particular section of the earth surface will enjoy sunlight, in such pattern all part of earth surface would enjoy sunlight, and moonlight( moonlight is the moons reflection of sunrays) 1 Like |

I believe if you did Geography in school op, you would have known why. This is entirely a study on it own, don't come and ask why we have day and night later. |

Agbeni33:Here, maps give a more easier representation. Keep in mind there is no accurate way to display a sphere on a flat surface, so there are going to be distortions. 1 Like

Re: Why Do Countries Have Different Time Zones? by chrisooblog: 2:03pm On Dec 27, 2020 |
the planet earth rotates slowly over a 24 hour period. as it's doing this parts of the planet are exposed to sunlight which is called day while other parts of the planet are left in darkness which we call night. the time zones indicate the different periods that the earth has rotated. Canada is 6-7 hours behind because our part of the world rotates and sees the sun before they do. with the uk the time is the same or one hour difference depending on the time of the year. plus because nigeria and uk are relatively in the same area of the earth when it rotates to meet the sun the time zone will roughly be the same. you will notice also that countries like australia, china, japan are several time zones ahead of us that is because their part of the planet is furthest from us so they would get sunshine before we do. hope this helps Agbeni33: 3 Likes |

Agbeni33: Na wah oo. This one too na question? Have you heard of Longitude and Latitude before? Countries in same longitude will be on same time zone(this is bar political and economic reason, simply geographic), while countries in same latitude have similar climate(this is not always the case though). As for the earth being spherical and rotates leading to day and night, I think many on this thread have done justice to that. 1 Like |

hinograce: Exactly though.. I remember at a time I was in Yola Adamawa state, by 5am it's complete day as everyone would be seeing clearly and by 6pm everywhere is dark!!! Whereas my folks down south are always suprised if I tell them this when they called.. If the sun/day determines the time then Lagos should not be using the same time with Yola!! 5 Likes 1 Share |
