There are fifteen (15) degrees of longitude per time zone.
(15 degrees x 24 zones = 360 degrees around the planet)
There are 15 degrees of longitude in each US time zone.
There are 360 degrees of longitude on a map and 24 hours in a day. Therefore, there are 15 degrees longitude in each hour.
24 hours = 360 degrees
1 hour = 15 degrees
15 degrees as 15 * 24 = 360
360° ÷ 24 hrs = 15°/hr
15 degrees
fifteen
There are 24 time zones. Divide 360 degrees longitude by 24 and you get 15 degrees for each one-hour 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.
360 degrees divided by 24 = 15 degrees
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
The Earth rotates at the rate of roughly 15 degrees of longitude per hour.

15 Degrees per hour
360 degrees divided by 24 = 15 degrees
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
One hour equals 15 degrees.
The Earth rotates at the rate of roughly 15 degrees of longitude per hour.
360 divided by 24 equals 15. The sun appears to move 15 degrees each hour, or one degree every four minutes.
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.
The Earth rotates at the rate of roughly 15 degrees of longitude per hour.
Since the earth rotates 360 degrees in 24 hours, each 1-hour time zone extends (360/24) = 15 degrees in longitude.
The Earth turns 15 degrees in 1 hour.
