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)
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.
Are hemispheres fifteen degrees wide?
-- The northern and southern hemispheres each have 90 degrees of latitude and 360 degrees of longitude. -- The eastern and western hemispheres each have 180 degrees of latitude and 180 degrees of longitude.
What is the longitude of a town if its local time is 6pm when greenwich time is 4pm?
The time difference between the local time and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is 2 hours. Since there are 360 degrees of longitude in a full circle and 24 hours in a day, each hour of time difference corresponds to 15 degrees of longitude. Therefore, the longitude of the town would be 30 degrees west of the Prime Meridian (Greenwich).
What has 180 degrees in each hemisphere?
It's longitude.
How many degrees of longitude are in the complete timezone?
There are 15 degrees of longitude in each timezone, because there are 360 degrees of longitude and 24 hours a day, so 360/24 is 15.
How many degrees of longitude does the sun appear to move each hour if it moves 360 degrees in 24 hours?
360 divided by 24 equals 15. The sun appears to move 15 degrees each hour, or one degree every four minutes.
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)
How many minutes are there btw each longitude?
360 degrees of longitude = 24 hours so 1 degree = 24 hours/360 = 0.066... hours = 4 minutes
How many degrees of longitude does the sun appear to move each hour if it moves 370 degrees in 24 hours?
Any number you like. Since the predicate statement: "the sun appears to move 370 degrees in 24 hours" is FALSE, then the "conclusion" can be any statement you like. The sun appears to move 360 degrees in 24 hours and so 360/24 = 15 deg each hour.
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.
How many time zones ore there on the Earth?
the earth is divided into 24 time zones, each 15 degrees of longitude in width. Since earth rotates once every 24 hours on its axis and there are 360 degrees of , each hour of Earth rotation represents 15 degrees of longitude.
Are hemispheres fifteen degrees wide?
-- The northern and southern hemispheres each have 90 degrees of latitude and 360 degrees of longitude. -- The eastern and western hemispheres each have 180 degrees of latitude and 180 degrees of longitude.

Therefore, the longitude of the town would be 30 degrees west of the Prime Meridian (Greenwich).
How does the angle of each time zone relate to a circle?
Since the earth rotates 360 degrees in 24 hours, each 1-hour time zone extends (360/24) = 15 degrees in longitude.
What has 180 degrees in each hemisphere?
It's longitude.
How many lines of longitude in a hemisphere?
The northern and southern hemispheres each have 360 degrees of longitude. The eastern and western hemispheres each have 180 degrees of longitude. You can use as many or as few 'lines' as you want, to mark off any number of degrees.
