Russia is the country with the most time zones. The country spans 11 time zones, from UTC+02:00 to UTC+12:00. This is due to the country's vast size, stretching across more than 17 million square kilometers.

Other countries with multiple time zones include the United States (9 time zones), Canada (6 time zones), Australia (5 time zones), and Brazil (4 time zones).

France has the most time zones in the world, with 12 time zones (13 if you include its claim in Antarctica). This is because France has a large number of overseas territories, which are spread out across the globe. These territories include French Polynesia, New Caledonia, French Guiana, and Saint Pierre and Miquelon.

The United States and Russia are tied for second place, with 11 time zones each. These countries also have a large number of overseas territories, which contribute to their number of time zones.

Antarctica is the only continent that does not have a single time zone. Instead, it is divided into 39 time zones, which are used by the various research stations that are located there.

The following table shows the number of time zones in each country:

Country | Number of time zones | France | 12 (13 if you include its claim in Antarctica) United States | 11 Russia | 11 Canada | 6 Australia | 9 Antarctica | 39
