How are time zones determined?

• Time zones are determined based on the position of the moon.

• Time zones are determined based on the distance from the equator.

• Time zones are determined based on the population density of each region.

• Time zones are determined based on the Earth's rotation and the division of the globe into 24 time zones.

What is the purpose of Polaris in navigation?
