One time zone is 15 degrees longitude and there are 24 of them. A full circle, 360 degrees, divided by 24 as the number of hours in a day results 15 degrees. The time difference between two time zones next to each other in the 24 hour system is one hour.
A few countries do not follow a time zone according to their physical location. They may have chosen another time zone that is more purposeful related to their current politics, business partners or just for the ease of use. One of the 'ease of use' examples is
China which follows one time zone in a land area that crosses five time zones.
