Everything on earth at all places is happening at the same "time" no matter what the clocks say. However, it is convention to have "time zones" where the clocks are adjusted to show 12 noon when the sun is appriximately South (more accurately where what is south faces the sun). That means that as the earth spins on its axis different longitudes face the sun at a rate of 15 degrees of longitude pass facing the sun every hour. For convenience this line often deviates in places to follow national borders, but basically that is what is happening.

How to calculate the longitude of a place when time is given?
You can calculate the longitude of a place when time is given using the Greenwich solar time.
What does a time zone of a place depend on?
A place's time zone is determined by its longitude in relation to the Earth's rotation. Time zones are typically defined based on the 15-degree longitudinal increments, with one hour difference between each zone. This system helps synchronize time across the globe.
What latitude and longitude gives us the time?
-- Latitude is not connected with the passage of time. -- The sun crosses 15 degrees of longitude per hour. So if you know your own longitude, somebody else's longitude, and what time it is over at his place, then you can figure out the solar time where you are. Really seems like a lot of effort and hassle, when you could just ask somebody what time it is, or look at your watch.
How many minutes for each degree of longitude does he local time of any place vary from the greenwhich time?
The local time of any place changes by 4 minutes for every degree of longitude that it moves east or west from the Greenwich Meridian.
What is the longitude if it is 4 PM Greenwich time?
The longitude of the Greenwich Royal Observatory is always 0 degrees.
How to calculate the longitude of a place when time is given?

How is latitude and longitude useful?
to locate place and for time calculation
What's the difference between local time and standard time?
local timeThe time of a place when the midday sun is overhead is called local time.It changes from place to place.The place on the same longitude has the same local time.standard time The local time of the standard meridian of a country is called standard time.It remains same for that particular country.the place on the same longitude has the different standard time.The main difference between local time and standard time is, the local time changes from a place to place, but the standard time remains fixed for the particular country. As per local time, the place/location on the same longitude will have the same local time, but as per the standard time the place on the same longitude will have different standard time.

How does time of a place depends on its latitude?
It doesn't, but it does depend on the longitude of the place.The reason is because the sun moves 15 degrees of longitude every hour,and we want things to work out in a way that no matter where you are, thesun is near the middle ... between sunrise and sunset ... at 12:00 Noon.That's the whole reason for having time zones.
What time will sunset be on March 26 2010?
It depends on where you are, sunset times depend on your latitude, longitude, and time zone. probably between 6 and 7

What do we call the place where latitude and longitude cross?
The latitude and longitude of a place are known as its co-ordinates.
Is there a relationship between sundial time local time and standard time?
Yes. Standard time is that defined along a particular longitude. Local time is related to the longitude of the place concerned. 24 hours = 360 degree. Therefore 1 degree = 4 minutes. Cities to the east of the Standard time longitude are ahead and vice versa for Cities to the west.
What do we call the place where latitude and longitude lines cross?
The latitude and longitude of a place are known as its co-ordinates.
