Want this question answered?
There is one time zone for every 15 degrees of longitude - 24 time zones in all with each being 1 hour apart.
Lines of longitude are farthest apart where they intersect the line of the equator.
the earth is divided into 24 time zones, each 15 degrees of longitude in width. Since earth rotates once every 24 hours on its axis and there are 360 degrees of , each hour of Earth rotation represents 15 degrees of longitude.
-- The northern and southern hemispheres each have 90 degrees of latitude and 360 degrees of longitude. -- The eastern and western hemispheres each have 180 degrees of latitude and 180 degrees of longitude.
There are 15 degrees of longitude in each timezone, because there are 360 degrees of longitude and 24 hours a day, so 360/24 is 15.
It's longitude.
The northern and southern hemispheres each have 360 degrees of longitude. The eastern and western hemispheres each have 180 degrees of longitude. You can use as many or as few 'lines' as you want, to mark off any number of degrees.
There are fifteen (15) degrees of longitude per time zone. (15 degrees x 24 zones = 360 degrees around the planet)
There are 15 degrees of longitude in each standard time zone
10 degrees.
There is no standard set of "lines", so if you want to compare two "lines", you have to specify which two you're talking about. The Earth turns through 360 degrees of longitude in 24 hours. So every 15 degrees of longitude corresponds to one hour of rotation. If you want the clock to read 12:00 Noon when the sun peaks in the sky everywhere, then you have to change the clocks by one hour for every 15 degrees of longitude.
360 divided by 24 equals 15. The sun appears to move 15 degrees each hour, or one degree every four minutes.
