How many time zones are there in the world?
24
Background
Earth has 24 time zones, one for each hour of the day. In reality there are a few more, because some countries use half-hour offsets. Nepal, for example, is 5 hours and 45 minutes ahead of world time. Time zones often follow country borders instead of straight lines.
