4. Hmmm…. Several months ago, I bought a plane ticket to North Carolina. I left Nashville, TN at 7:30pm and arrived in Raleigh, NC at 10:00pm. When I came back home, I left Raleigh, NC at 4:00pm and arrived back in Nashville, TN at 4:30pm. How is this possible?

5. The answer is….. Time Zones!! Because of the earth’s rotation, different parts of the earth are facing the sun at any given time. To help eliminate confusion, time zones were set up so that the sun is at its highest point in the sky around 12:00pm, or noon.
