Answer:
Answer by Student

The purpose of having time zones is to
standardize
the time for different regions of the world, based on their position relative to the
prime meridian
or 0° longitude.

Time zones are regions that have a
uniform standard time
for legal, commercial, and social purposes.

confusion and inconvenience
of having different local times for places that are in frequent communication or interaction.

They reflect the
natural variation of daylight hours
across the Earth due to its rotation and orbit.
