The difference in longitude between two places is:

Absolute value of [ (one longitude) minus (the other longitude) ].

The easist way to calculate it is as follows:

--> If both points are in the same hemisphere

(both east longitude or both west longitude):

-- Subtract the smaller number from the larger number.

--> If the points are in different hemispheres

(one east longitude and one west longitude):

-- Add the two numbers.

-- Subtract the result from 360.
