At any given time, the clocks around the world are set to at least 38 different times, and these time zones have about 165 different names, including about 130 different names just for Standard Time designations.

Sir Sandford Fleming, a Canadian engineer and inventor, is credited with proposing the concept of worldwide standard time and time zones in the 1870s. The time zones for the United States were formally established through the railroads' adoption of standard time in 1883, based on Fleming's principles.
In the US there are six time zones, they have names they are called in the US and also have Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) Zone names: * US Eastern Standard Time = GMT - 5 * US Central Standard Time = GMT - 6 * US Mountain Standard Time = GMT -7 * US Pacific Standard Time = GMT - 8 * US Alaska Standard Time = GMT - 9 * US Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time = GMT -10 In Summer most states in the six US time zones observe Daylight Savings Time and then the name of the zone would be, for example, US Eastern Daylight Time Zone.

Six time zones are present in the 48 Contiguous US States and all Canadian provinces. Four are shared between the two countries while two are present only in Canada. If you want to include Alaska, then there are eight time zones (Alaskan and Aleutian). And if including Hawaii, the number stays at eight since Hawaii is on the same time as the Aleutian Islands.
The system of worldwide time zones was first proposed In 1878 by the Canadian Sir Sanford Fleming. It was made for the convenience of trade & commerce, especially for the railway industry. There are 24 times zones which was based on the number of hours it takes the Earth to rotate on its axis.

There are 24 time zones in the world, one for each hour of the day. These time zones are based on lines of longitude and help standardize timekeeping across the globe.
