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

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

If you define a time zone as one hour then a 24 hour day will have 24 time zones which each will equal 15 degrees. Therefore an 18 hour day will have 18 time zones of 20 degrees each. 24 x 15 degrees = 360 degrees 18 x 20 degrees = 360 degrees


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.
