Answer: As earth rotates on its axis, it moves about 15 degrees every 60 minutes. after 24 hours, it has completed a full rotation of 360 degrees. the scientists used this information to divide the planet into 24 section or time zones. each time zone is 15 degrees of longitude wide.

Hope this answers your question! :)
