  2. Polar regions of Earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_regions_of_Earth

    Visualization of the ice and snow covering Earth's northern and southern polar regions Northern Hemisphere permafrost (permanently frozen ground) in purple. The polar regions, also called the frigid zones or polar zones, of Earth are Earth's polar ice caps, the regions of the planet that surround its geographical poles (the North and South Poles), lying within the polar circles.

  3. List of time zones by country - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_time_zones_by_country

    This is a list representing time zones by country. Countries are ranked by total number of time zones on their territory. Time zones of a country include that of dependent territories (except Antarctic claims). France, including its overseas territories, has the most time zones with 12 (13 including its claim in Antarctica and all other counties ).

  4. Time zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_zone

    Time zones of the world. A time zone is an area which observes a uniform standard time for legal, commercial and social purposes. Time zones tend to follow the boundaries between countries and their subdivisions instead of strictly following longitude, because it is convenient for areas in frequent communication to keep the same time.

  5. North Pole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Pole

    A similar sequence is observed at the South Pole, with a six-month time difference. Since longitude is undefined at the north pole, the exact time is a matter of convention. Polar expeditions use whatever time is most convenient, such as Greenwich Mean Time or the time zone of their origin. [58]

  6. Geographical zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographical_zone

    The Torrid Zone is also known as the tropics. This zone is bounded on the north by the Tropic of Cancer and on the south by the Tropic of Capricorn; these latitudes mark the northern and southern extremes in which the Sun passes [a] directly overhead. This happens once annually on these cusps, but in the tropics proper, the Sun passes overhead ...

  7. Time in Antarctica - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_Antarctica

    Antarctica sits on every line of longitude because the South Pole is on the continent. Theoretically, Antarctica would be located in all time zones; however, areas south of the Antarctic Circle experience extreme day-night cycles near the times of the June and December solstices, making it difficult to determine which time zone would be appropriate.

  8. Temperate climate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperate_climate

    A Köppen–Geiger climate map showing temperate climates for 1991–2020 The different geographical zones of the world. The temperate zones, in the sense of geographical regions defined by latitude, span from either north or south of the subtropics (north or south of the orange dotted lines, at 35 degrees north or south) to the polar circles.

  9. World clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_clock

    The World Clock in Alexanderplatz displays 146 cities in all 24 time zones on its head. [2] [3] It could also be a picture map of the world with embedded analog or digital time-displays. A moving circular map of the world, rotating inside a stationary 24-hour dial ring. Alternatively, the disc can be stationary and the ring moving.
