England's Royal Observatory in Greenwich (the source of Greenwich Mean Time - GMT) is 0 degrees longitude and the reference point. 120 degrees East is the longitude of the east coast of Taiwan. At that longitude, 1/3 of a circumference from Greenwich, the standard time (and date) should be 8 hours ahead of Greenwich. So if it is 4am in Greenwich, it should be noon in Taiwan.
What else can I help you with?
Explain how time changes as you move east from the Prime Meridian?
As you move east from the Prime Meridian, time increases by one hour for every 15 degrees of longitude you cross. This is because Earth rotates 360 degrees in 24 hours, so each hour represents 15 degrees of longitude.
How many degrees of longitude there are per hour?
15 Degrees per hour
What will be the time at 15 degrees west longitude if the time at 50 degrees east longitude is 5 am?
It is 2pm. Every 15 degrees of longitude is a different time zone, since there are 360 degrees of longitude on Earth and 24 hours a day (360/24). Here, there is a 90 degrees difference in longitude, and therefore a 6 hours difference (90/6). The time gets later as it approaches the International Date Line from the east, therefore, since 150 degrees east is east to 60 degrees east longitude, the time is 6 hours after it.
What time will it be at a place 77 degrees east when 2pm at the prime meridian?
The prime meridian is at 0 degrees longitude, and each 15 degrees of longitude represents one hour of time difference. Therefore, a location at 77 degrees east is 77/15 = approximately 5.13 hours ahead of GMT. When it is 2 PM at the prime meridian, it will be around 7:08 PM at 77 degrees east.
When it is 10am at 45W what is it at 45E?
If it is 10 am at 45 degrees W longitude, it is 4 pm at 45 E longitude.
What is one hour of time equal to longitude degrees?
One hour equals 15 degrees.
What time is it 60 degrees east if it's noon in greenwich?
If it's noon in Greenwich (0 degrees longitude), then at 60 degrees east, it would be 3:00 PM. This is because the Earth is divided into 24 time zones, each representing 15 degrees of longitude, meaning each hour corresponds to 15 degrees. Thus, 60 degrees east is four hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
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 exist in each hour?
There are fifteen (15) degrees of longitude per time zone. (15 degrees x 24 zones = 360 degrees around the planet)
What is the standard time of a place?
A location's standard time is whatever the local national government says it is. Usually a location's offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is its degrees of longitude multiplied by 4 minutes/degree (4 minutes per degree) then divided by 60 minutes/hour and rounded to the nearest whole hour, but there are exceptions. Places east of the prime meridian (0° longitude) and west of the international date line (180° longitude) are ahead of UTC, and places west of the prime meridian and east of the international date line are behind UTC.
What would be the solar time of a person living 4degrees longitude east of the noon merdian?
The person living 4 degrees longitude east of the noon meridian would experience solar time that is 16 minutes ahead of the time at the noon meridian. This is because for every 15 degrees of longitude, there is a one-hour difference in solar time.
What geographical features distinguish it?
15 degrees because for every 15 degrees of longitude that you move, you enter a new time zone. As you move west, you gain an hour; as you move east, you lose an hour. There are 360 degrees on the Earth, which divided by 24 hours in the day, give 15 degrees of longitude per time zone. You can calculate the time by knowing the longitude of two locations and a time at one of them. By measuring the difference in longitude and dividing it by 15, you arrive at the time of the second location.
