rohe wā
1. (noun) time zone.
Nā te mea e takahurihuri ana te ao, he rerekē te wā ka whiti te Rā ki tēnā whenua, ki tēnā whenua, puta noa i te ao. I te wā e whitia mai ana a Aotearoa, e pō ana a Ingarangi me ērā atu whenua i tērā taha o te ao. Tekau mā rua hāora tō rātou tōmuri i a tātou. Nā te pēnei, kua wehea te ao ki ētahi rohe wā e 24 (TRP 2010:242). / Because the earth is rotating, the times when the sun is shining in various parts of the world are different. When Aotearoa has day, England and other countries on that side of the world have night. They are 12 hours behind us. Because of this, the world is divided into 24 time zones (TRP 2010:242).
