The Earth rotates at a steady rate of 360° per day, or 15° per hour so there is a direct relationship between time and longitude. If navigator on a ship knows the time they left port and has an accurate time reference on ship then they can calculate the longitude and their position. It was critical for sailors to know their location and where the nearest land was located.
