The Earth is divided into 24 time zones. This is because the Earth takes about 24-hours to rotate once on its axis over the course of one day--or 24 hours.

The International Date Line, which is to the left of Alaska above, is located on the 180° meridian. The International Date Line is where you would either gain or lose a day depending on which direction you're traveling. If you are heading west and cross the International Date Line, you will gain a day; if you are traveling east, you will lose a day.
