How much time does each longitude line measure?
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.
What will be the time at 15 degrees west longitude if the time at 50 degrees east longitude is 5 am?
It is 2pm. Every 15 degrees of longitude is a different time zone, since there are 360 degrees of longitude on Earth and 24 hours a day (360/24). Here, there is a 90 degrees difference in longitude, and therefore a 6 hours difference (90/6). The time gets later as it approaches the International Date Line from the east, therefore, since 150 degrees east is east to 60 degrees east longitude, the time is 6 hours after it.
What two location on globe only list latitude lines but not longitude lines?
The north and south poles are at 90° latitude, and ALL longitudes meet there so longitude at the poles is irrelevant. Honestly, it's much easier to discuss these things if you forget about "lines".
What is the time according to the longitude of a place?
Speaking roughly, your local time is 1 hour earlier than UT for every 15° of your west longitude, or 1 hour later than UT for every 15° of your east longitude. But nobody would use this rule of thumb to actually determine their local time. It's much more useful to use this factoid, plus your wristwatch set to UT and a few astronomical observations, to determine your longitude.
Is Paris same latitude as New York city?
I think the best answer is probably yes. Latitude is the measurement of the globe, the Earth, horizontally from the Equator to the poles. Longitude is the vertical measurement from pole to pole running East & West from the Prime Meridian, 0 degrees, which runs North/South through Greenwich, London. Any place therefore on the Earth has both a Latitude & Longitude. These measurements are listed in a Gazetteer. If New York, for example was, say 50 degrees north of the Equator, all places 50 degrees north have the same latitude, irrespective of where they are in terms of their longitude. If New Yorks' longitude is say, 70 degrees West ( I have no idea, without looking it up just where New York is) then all points on the Earth, both due north or south of New York have the same Longitude. ok so New York is 76 degrees & 42 degrees., just find out which is latitude & which isn't ! when you have done that find out the same measurements for, say,Paris.
How much time do two places separated by 15 degrees differ in?
every 15 degrees is an hour time difference

What is on the 270 longitude line?
There can't be too much there, since there's no such longitude as 270 degrees. Longitudes ... both east and west ... range from zero to 180 degrees, max.
What is 20 degrees north latitude, 100 degrees west longitude?
Mexico. Northwest of Mexico City. The degrees mean how much above the equator and how much west of England.
What is the location on earth that does not have a latitude or longitude?
There is no such location. Every point on Earth has a latitude and longitude, otherwise that system wouldn't be much good for navigation.
Where is 89 degrees NORTH 18 min 45 degrees west?
" 89 degrees north" is a point in the Arctic Ocean about 69 miles from the north pole. The longitude really doesn't matter much.
How much difference was there between the sun and shade temperatures?
Anything from a few degrees to 20 degrees Celcius.
How much colder does it get for every 150m you climb?
1.5 degrees
What is the temperature difference between the arctic and the Sahara?
The temperature difference between the Arctic and the Sahara can be as much as 100 degrees or more. In January, the Arctic can reach as much as -50 degrees Fahrenheit while the desert can reach well over 100 degrees.
Does 150 degrees west run near Sydney Australia or Anchorage Alaska?
Anchorage is much closer to that longitude than Sydney is.
How much does a triangle mesure?
180 degrees. An equilateral triangle measures 60 degrees at every angle.
