Show transcript
Time zones to the east of the Prime Meridian are ‘UTC (or GMT) plus’; time zones to the west are ‘minus UTC (or GMT)'.
Webcams are a useful source of information about what is happening in places which are in different time zones.
Earth is divided into 24 standard meridians, at intervals of 15˚, which are the basis for delineating 24 time zones.
Time zones are measured from the Prime Meridian at 0˚ longitude, where the time is Universal Co-ordinated Time (UTC).
