Zeitzonen Weltkarte
Weltkarte der Zeitzonen:
Die Zeitzonen wurden erstellt, um die Tageszeit rund um die Erde aufgrund der Erdrotation zu standardisieren. Vor den Zeitzonen und Uhren wurde die Sonnenuhr verwendet, um die lokale Sonnenzeit zu ermitteln, die über das Jahr je nach Jahreszeit und Längengrad variierte. Jede Stadt hatte basierend auf dem Längengrad ihre eigene lokale Standardzeit.
Mit der Globalisierung entstand ein zunehmender Bedarf nach einer Standardisierung der Zeitzonen, insbesondere für das Transportwesen (nämlich Eisenbahn) und die Kommunikation über Längengrade hinweg. Während Seefahrer begannen ein System zur Verfolgung von Zeitzonen zu entwickeln, florierte das Konzept in den 1800-er Jahren, als die Eisenbahn ein populäres Fortbewegungsmittel wurde.
Während der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts wurden verschiedene Methoden für ein standardisiertes Zeitzonensystem vorgeschlagen, welche die Vereinigten Staaten in mehrere Zeitzonen unterteilten, jede mit einem Abstand von einer Stunde. Das weltweite System wurde 1879 von Sandford Fleming vorgeschlagen, welches die Erde in 24 Zeitzonen unterteilte, beginnend in Greenwich, dem 180. Meridian und jeweils im Abstand von 15°.
Heute werden diese Weltzeitzonen wie auf der oben gezeigten Karte umgesetzt. Die meisten Länder folgen der stundenweisen Abweichung, obwohl sie aus Gründen der Bequemlichkeit nicht immer mit den Längengraden übereinstimmen, um das gesamte Land einzubeziehen. Einige Länder, einschließlich Indien und Iran, verwenden stattdessen halbstündliche Abweichungen und einige wählen einfach nur eine Zeitzone für das gesamte Land, wie China.
