As the sun rises, the world wakes up to the New Year. But when each country celebrates the New Year varies depending on its location on Earth.
The Pacific islands of Tonga, Samoa and Christmas /Kiribati are the first countries to celebrate New Year while it is still afternoon in India! Interestingly, the U.S. being a big country, New Year celebrations vary for each state too! For example, Los Angeles will usher in the New Year a good three hours after New York.
And American Samoa, a territory of the U.S. is one of the last places to celebrate.
With this fact in mind, here’s a challenge for you. Arrange the countries given below in the order in which they will ring in the New Year.
