You cannot reliably determine a place's time zone by its longitude. The best you can do is to calculate the local mean time for the longitude. That is because every country is free to choose whatever time zone(s) it wants, and therefore there are many places where the time zone is not the local mean time rounded to the nearest hour.
To calculate the local mean time at a certain longitude when it's noon UTC, using x° for x° east and -x° for x° west, add 180° to the longitude, multiply by 4 minutes per degree, and divide by 60 minutes per hour.

∙ 13y agoThe earth is in 24 different time zones and theoretically each time zone would 15 degrees latitude. Not so, as when you go from Nova Scotia to Newfoundland, the time goes up a half hour. Either All of the former Soviet Union or China is in one time zone. I believe it is China.

How do you determine the zone description?
By deviding longitude of the place by 15. Arc to time.
How many degrees of longitude do you need to travel across to pass through one time zone?
360° of longitude divided by 24 time zones gives 15° per time zone (average)
Which line of longitude bends keep islands of the same nation in the same time zone?
No line of longitude bends, but the time-zone boundaries are defined to depart from the meridians in order to accomplish that.
The longitude of a determines which time zone it is in different time zones are the result of?
earths rotation
What latitude and longitude gives us the time?
Latitude and longitude do not directly determine the time. Time is determined by the time zone in which a location falls. However, the longitude does play a role in determining the time because the earth rotates 15 degrees longitude per hour, so each degree of longitude represents about 4 minutes of time.

What is the longitude of time zone Z?
Zulu Time = UTC
How many degrees are in each standard time zone?
There are 15 degrees of longitude in each standard time zone
Which Time Zone includes 2200W longitude?
There is no such longitude. The maximum degrees for lines of longitude is 180 east and west only.
How many degrees of longitude do you need to travel across to pass through one time zone?
360° of longitude divided by 24 time zones gives 15° per time zone (average)
Which line of longitude bends keep islands of the same nation in the same time zone?
No line of longitude bends, but the time-zone boundaries are defined to depart from the meridians in order to accomplish that.
The time zone abbreviation z denotes which meridian?
latitude and longitude
What is one of the 24 one hour divisions of longitude?
It is a time zone.
The longitude of a determines which time zone it is in different time zones are the result of?
earths rotation
Time zone centered upon 120 degrees west?
The time zone centered at 120° west longitude is UTC-8.
What line of longitude would be at the center of the time zone containing the prime meridian?
That would be zero degrees longitude.
What latitude and longitude gives us the time?
Latitude and longitude do not directly determine the time. Time is determined by the time zone in which a location falls. However, the longitude does play a role in determining the time because the earth rotates 15 degrees longitude per hour, so each degree of longitude represents about 4 minutes of time.
