A zone is a specific area or region that is different from other areas in some way. For example, the Earth's surface is divided into different zones, such as the tropical zone, the temperate zone, and the polar zone. Each zone has its own unique climate and vegetation.

The word "zone" comes from the Greek word "zona", which means "girdle" or "belt". The Greek word "zona" is related to the Latin word "zona" and the English word "girdle".
The word "zone" is first attested in English in the 14th century. It was originally used to refer to a belt or girdle, but it soon came to be used to refer to any area or region that is set apart from others.
