文正（Donald） In general, what we see on a clock is a few minutes, which is customarily called time, but strictly speaking, it should be called the moment. The specific moment of a region, and the geographical latitude of the region there is a certain relationship. For example, people around the world are accustomed to the sun in the South (i.e. sun transit time) to 12 noon, but this is just another place back to the sun (on the other side of the earth), the inevitable time should be 12 at midnight. If the whole world uses one moment at a time, it can only meet the living habits of a certain number of places on the same meridian line. So the moment of the whole world cannot be completely united. The moment at which a particular place in the earth is determined according to the specific position of the sun is called the place. Therefore, the true sun is also called local true solar time (local time), while the flat sun is also called local flat solar time (local usual). Local time and place are usually local. In 1879, the Canadian railway engineer V put forward the zone on the concept of the proposal was accepted at an international meeting on 1884, which officially established a unified system when the world metrology moment . The zone system specifies that every 15 degree latitude in the earth is used as a time zone (that is, the longitude of the sun within 1 hours). In this way, the entire surface of the earth is divided into 24 time zones. Each time zone Central Meridian as 0 degrees (the prime meridian), things by 15 degrees, 30 degrees, the thing things by 45 degrees Until the longitude of 180 degrees, at all places within 7.5 degrees of each meridian of the central meridian, the place of the central meridian is used as the standard time. The zone system has largely solved the confusion at all times, leaving only 24 different moments in the world, Moreover, the time difference between adjacent time zones is exactly 1 hours, so that the time conversion between diff
