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.

How many degrees of longitude do you need to travel across to pass through one hour of time?
The Earth rotates at the rate of roughly 15 degrees of longitude per hour.
What is each time zone equal to in degrees longitude?
Time zones are ideally 15 degrees in width, so that 24 will cover the entire 360 degrees (180 east and 180 west)
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 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.
What is the solar time of 72 degrees W longitude if it is noon solar time at 90 degrees W longitude?
10.48am
What is one hour of time equal to longitude degrees?
One hour equals 15 degrees.
One hour of time is equal to how many degree of longitude?
1 revolution / 24 hours = 360 degrees / 24 hours = 15 degrees per hour
How many degrees are in each standard time zone?
There are 15 degrees of longitude in each standard time zone
How many hours of time is there in 360 degrees of longitude?
24 hours

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 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.
How many degrees of longitude are included in the complete time zone of earth?
15
What is the solar time of 72 degrees W longitude if it is noon solar time at 90 degrees W longitude?
10.48am
How many degrees of longitude do you need to travel across pass through one hour of time?
The Earth rotates at the rate of roughly 15 degrees of longitude per hour.
How many degrees of longitude exist in each hour?
There are fifteen (15) degrees of longitude per time zone. (15 degrees x 24 zones = 360 degrees around the planet)
