Nautical time zones are each made up of 15 degrees. Terrestrial time zones, however vary from zone to zone and country to country.

If there are 360 degress of longitude around the earth and there are 24 times zones how many degrees does each time zone cover?

360 degrees / 24 timezones = 15 degrees per timezone


How many degree apart are 14 time zeros?

24 hours = 360 degrees so each hour = 360/24 = 15 degrees. Then, 14 time zones (if they are each one hour apart) = 14*15 = 210 degrees.


Approximately how many degrees mark each time zone?

Theoretically, there are 24 times zones to cover the earth. So each time zone is 1 hour of time difference and 15 degrees. (Divide 360 by 24). However, practically, some time zones are larger than others. The line that seperates time zones are not straight. For example you can travel in the Central Time Zone and cover all of Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama before the time changes. I'm sure that is greater than 15 degrees of earth's rotation.


If time zones were perfectly straight how many degrees of longitude would each one be?

15


How many degrees of longitude equal 1 time zone?

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.


If days had 36 hours how many degrees of longitude would each time zone be?

If a day had 36 hours instead of 24, each time zone would cover 30 degrees of longitude instead of the current 15 degrees. This is because the Earth rotates 360 degrees in 24 hours, so with 36 hours in a day, each hour of difference would correspond to 30 degrees of longitude.


How many degrees of longitude do you need to travel across to pass through one hour time zone?

There are 24 time zones. Divide 360 degrees longitude by 24 and you get 15 degrees for each one-hour time zone.


Can you earn more than two bachelor's degrees?

You can earn as many bachelor degrees as you have the time and money for, as long as you meet the graduation requirements of each.


If there were 20 time zones how wide would each time zone be?

Each time zone would be approximately 18 degrees wide, since the Earth has 360 degrees of longitude and is divided into 20 time zones.
