NO, because the time zones and the International Date Line don't line up. When Kiribati became independent of th UK, it made the Date Line go around the east end of the country, so that all of their islands would be on the same side of the Date Line. This means that there are more than 24 hourly time zones, so there are moments when there are parts of 3 days going on. If you had a fast plane, you could depart from Kiribati's Line Islands just after midnight Sunday morning, arrive somwhere further west like Jarvis Island just before midnight Friday evening, and have your Saturday all over again!

The only place this occurs is either the "true north" or "true south" poles; the physical points on the globe where all the time zone divisions intersect.
Note that "true north" and "true south" are not the same locations as "magnetic north" and "magnetic south".
And in case you were wondering - the default time at the polar locations is GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).

I show 24 time zones, each 1 hour apart from the next. So no.

Yes - I think. It would be a noon GMT or UTC. All other places on earth would be within 12 hours before or after noon - meaning they were all experiencing the same calendar day.

No because the world is split up in time zones. one half the world will be one day, and the other half is another day, because every time zone is one hor apart.
