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.
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 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.
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.
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.
For every 15 degrees of longitude there is difference of how much time?
For every 15 degrees of longitude traveled eastwards, there is typically a time difference of one hour ahead. This is due to the Earth's rotation at 15 degrees 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)
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.
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).
Is 15 degrees per hour rate of revolution the basis for the time difference between earth's adjoining time zone?
Yes, the Earth rotates 15 degrees per hour, leading to the creation of different time zones. Each time zone is approximately 15 degrees of longitude wide, resulting in a one-hour time difference for every 15 degrees of longitude.
How is longitude a function of time?
Every 15 degrees of longitude correspond to an hour of time. The sun will rise and set 1 hour earlier or later at 15 degree intervals. Time zones occur approximately every 15 degrees to compensate for this.
What time is it at 90 west longitude if is is 3 pm at 45 west?
At 90 degrees west longitude, the time will be one hour earlier than at 45 degrees west longitude. Since there are 15 degrees of longitude for each hour of time difference, moving from 45 west to 90 west (a difference of 45 degrees) equates to a time difference of three hours. Therefore, if it is 3 PM at 45 west, it would be 12 PM (noon) at 90 west longitude.
