Until the 19th century, towns in the same country often had different times. This was because people told the time by the local position of the sun. It didn't matter, because people didn't travel very much and they travelled very slowly. However, all that changed when railways arrived. People could now travel quickly from town to town, so they needed a standard time. In 1884, countries agreed to an international time system with 24 zones. ‘The time zones start from the Prime Meridian at Greenwich in London. In all places east of Greenwich, the day starts earlier In all places west of Greenwich, the day starts later. Most countries are in one time zone, but some large countries have more than one.
