Our planet, the Earth, is the third planet from the sun.
It is a beautiful, rotating sphere.
The side facing the Sun is in daylight.
The side facing away from the sun is in darkness.
For example, when it’s daytime in the US, it’s nighttime in China.
In fact, there’s a 12-hour time difference between Boston and Shanghai.
When it’s midnight in Shanghai, it’s noon in Boston.

Because of the Earth’s rotation, the earth is divided into time zones.
Some countries, such as the US, have several time zones.
When it’s 10 am in New York, it’s 7 am in San Francisco.
Europe and the US are separated by several time zones.
When it’s 5:00 pm in Paris, it’s 11:00 am in Boston.
So there's a 6-hour difference between Paris and Boston.
One large country, China, has just one time zone for the whole country.
As a result, at the same time, some parts of the country can be dark and other parts can be light.
Why is the Earth divided into time zones? -The earth is divided into time zones because of the Earth’s rotation
Which large country has only one time zone? - China has just one time zone for the whole country.
As you travel around the earth, the time changes.
The time of day depends on your location on the planet.
When you travel east or west, you may cross several time zones.
For example, if you travel from Beijing to Los Angeles, you cross 8 time zones.
That means, when it’s noon on Sunday in China, it’s 8:00 pm on Saturday in Los Angeles.
For travelers, this means it can be very difficult to sleep after a long flight.
The clock may say 8:00 pm, but for your body it’s noon.
This is called jet lag.
What changes as you travel around the earth? -As you travel around the earth, the time changes.
