Imagine the Earth is like a giant clock. As it spins, different parts of the world see the sun at different times, that’s why we have time zones! If everyone used the same time all over the world, people in the far east would be going to bed while people in the west are just waking up. That would make life confusing for everyone!
Examples
- You can watch a live concert on the other side of the world while you're still sleeping.
- Your friend in Tokyo sends you a message at midnight, but it’s only 8 AM for you.
