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.

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)


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?

If it's noon solar time at 90 degrees W longitude, every 15 degrees of longitude represents a one-hour time difference. So, at 72 degrees W longitude, the solar time would be 2 hours behind (2:00 PM).


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 time zone?

You would need to travel 15 degrees of longitude to pass through one time zone because the Earth is divided into 24 time zones, each covering 15 degrees of longitude.


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
