    2. There is a 4 hour difference.

    3. It is 2 p.m. in Los Angeles.

    4. There isen't any, because they are both in the same time zone.

    BONUS!! Iowa is in the central time zone.

    1) They divided Earth into 24 time zones because Earth rotates 360 degrees every day. (24 hours) They could establish each time zone 15 degrees apart. However, sometimes the boundaries had to be changed because of political boundaries.

    2) Washington D.C. is 3 hours ahead of Los Angeles.

    3) It's 3:00 P.M. in Los Angeles.

    4) There is no difference because they are in the same time zone.

    Bonus: Central Time (television helps!) :)

    Question 1- They divided the earth into 24 time zones to standardize time keeping. Since the earth rotates 360 degrees ( 24 hrs. ) They could establish each time zone 15 degrees apart.

    Question 2- Los Angeles, California, and Washington D.C are 3 hours apart.

    Question 3- It would be 3 P.M.

    Question 4- The time difference is 0 hrs, they are in the same time zone.

    How do scientists create time zones? They create them by dividing the earth into 24 parts. Because the earth rotates 360 degrees a day and each time zone is 15 degrees apart, so 360 divided by 15 is 24. there is a three hour difference between Los Angeles. if it is 6:00 P.M. in Washington D.C. then it will be 9:00 P.M. in Los Angeles. Mexico and Chicago are in the same time zone.
