Time zones tend to follow the boundaries between countries and their subdivisions instead of strictly following longitude, because it is convenient for areas in frequent communication to keep the same time.
The offset 32.184 seconds was the 1976 estimate of the difference between Ephemeris Time (ET) and TAI, "to provide continuity with the current values and practice in the use of Ephemeris Time". [ 9 ] TAI is never revised once published and TT(TAI) has small errors relative to TT(BIPM), [ 6 ] on the order of 10-50 microseconds.

Places on Earth experience the apparent diurnal motion of the Sun from the east to the west, during which it culminates, or reaches its highest point of the day and crosses the local meridian.
