Since a year is how long it takes the earth to revolve around the sun, shouldn’t the new year happen at the same time for everyone on earth?

It’s not like the earth stops rotated around the sun, once it makes a complete revolution, and then spins around so everyone in each time zone can celebrate

So technically… it’s a new year happy new year.

Do not confuse orbit with rotation. It rotates on an axis whilst it orbits the sun.

But the earth goes around the sun regardless of its rotation on its axis. So everyone on earth makes the revolution at the same time.

The Earth spins on its axis 24 hrs a day and orbits the sun 365 day a year. When it’s spinning on its axis 24hrs a day, some places see the sunlight and some see darkness. Hence night in some areas on earth and daytime in other areas as well as time zones.

Even a ten year old knows this

No, that's the reason for time zones. Each zone of the Earth makes one complete rotation to face the Sun every 24 hours.

This planet is freakin' HUGE!!!​

Rep points for the usage of the word "whilst."

The sun and the earth don’t give a shyt about time zones

When the earth makes a FULL ORBIT around the sun, it’s doesn’t matter what side it’s facing. What if the earth was tidally locked? Then what?

You're now conflating a solar day with a sidereal day. That's why it DOES matter which side it's facing since if the Earth were tidally locked, only one side would receive daylight....

OP

I'm guessing you are referring to the Chinese New Year. I think its based on tradition more than science.

Now you trying to get technical

If you really wanna go there, since it takes 8 minutes for photons from the sun to reach earth, the ball should drop at 11:52 instead of midnight.

That is still wrong since that's sidereal day time, not solar day time. Solar day time is based on the Sun's position relative to the Earth, not how long photons from the Sun take to get here.​
