Q. Standard time zones can be defined by geometrically subdividing the Earth’s spheroid into how many parts?
Answer: 24
Notes: Standard time zones are typically defined by subdividing the Earth's spheroid into 24 parts, with each part corresponding to a time zone that is typically 15 degrees wide. This means that the Earth is divided into 24 time zones, each separated by an hour, starting at the Prime Meridian, which is 0 degrees longitude, and extending eastward and westward around the globe.
