A polar view of the planet is roughly circular, that is, a total 360 degrees. There are about 24 hours in each day. Divide 360 by 24; the answer is 15, so there are 15 degrees of longitude in each time zone.
15 degrees longitude is equal to one hour time change.
The Earth is divided into 24 time zones. The Earth rotates 15 degrees in an hour, so each time zone equals 15 degrees of longitude.
The Earth rotates at the rate of roughly 15 degrees of longitude per hour.
Time zones are ideally 15 degrees in width, so that 24 will cover the entire 360 degrees (180 east and 180 west)
If you define a time zone as one hour then a 24 hour day will have 24 time zones which each will equal 15 degrees. Therefore an 18 hour day will have 18 time zones of 20 degrees each. 24 x 15 degrees = 360 degrees 18 x 20 degrees = 360 degrees
There are 24 time zones. Divide 360 degrees longitude by 24 and you get 15 degrees for each one-hour time zone.

One hour equals 15 degrees.
1 revolution / 24 hours = 360 degrees / 24 hours = 15 degrees per hour
There are 15 degrees of longitude in each standard time zone
24 hours
The Earth rotates at the rate of roughly 15 degrees of longitude per hour.
Time zones are ideally 15 degrees in width, so that 24 will cover the entire 360 degrees (180 east and 180 west)
If you define a time zone as one hour then a 24 hour day will have 24 time zones which each will equal 15 degrees. Therefore an 18 hour day will have 18 time zones of 20 degrees each. 24 x 15 degrees = 360 degrees 18 x 20 degrees = 360 degrees
There are 24 time zones. Divide 360 degrees longitude by 24 and you get 15 degrees for each one-hour time zone.

The Earth rotates at the rate of roughly 15 degrees of longitude per hour.
There are fifteen (15) degrees of longitude per time zone. (15 degrees x 24 zones = 360 degrees around the planet)
