I wonder how time zones on other planets would work once relativistic time dilation has to be considered. Add a multiplier to how fast your clock ticks? I suppose satellites should have this problem already resolved but only in Earth's sphere of influence.

Also simply travelling to Mars would desynchronize the time and would have to be resynced.

GPS systems have already had to solve this and from what I can make of it, its a fully general solution that could be ported to mars etc. https://jimlambskeptic.com/gps-and-time-dilation/
