At what time of night would a full moon pass the meridian?
A full moon is directly opposite the Sun, so it would pass the meridian at midnight.
What time will the moon rise tonight?
Each night the moon rise changes, So.... If you go to timeanddate.com, you can select a location in the drop-down menu and see times for moonrise and moonset in that location. Also provided is local time when the Moon passes the meridian with distance, fraction of the Moon illuminated and moon phase.
A person knows the sun time on the prime meridian and the local sun time What determination can be made?
Longitude

Why was the invention of an accurate clock crucial to solving the problem of determining longitude?
It enabled the navigator accurately to compare the time of local mid day to the time of mid day at the Greenwich meridian. The time difference is directly convertible into a longitude reading.

What is moon transit?
The moon transit is the time that the moon crosses an observer's meridian. The time that a moon transit occurs relative to noon depends on the quarter that the moon is in.

What is an apparent solar day?
the amount of time the sun takes to cross the meridian twice
Why is it necessary to adopt the local time of some central meridian is standard time for the country?
it is necessary to adopt the local time of some central meridian because each degree of longitude differs by 4 minutes.so if we follow the time of each meridian it would be very difficult as the people in the same country will have different time and the people travelling around would have to change there time now and then.therefore a central meridian in the country is taken as the standard meridian and the whole country follows its time.
What is the purpose of time-zone?
The Greenwich Meridian, also known as the prime meridian or International Meridian, is the "starting point" for dividing the Earth's surface into time zones. Each time zone is 15 degrees of longitude wide (with local variations) and the local time is one hour earlier than the zone immediately to the east on the map

What time does 3rd quarter moon rise?
The time of day that the Moon rises or sets depends on its phase. This should be obvious when you remember that the phase of the Moon depends on the relative positions of the Sun, Moon and Earth. For example when the Moon is Full it is opposite the Earth from the Sun, so when the Sun sets, the Moon must rise and vice versa. Here is a table summarizing that: Moon phase Moonrise Moonset New Moon Sunrise Sunset 1st quarter Local noon Local midnight Full Moon Sunset Sunrise 3rd quarter Local midnight Local noon By local noon and local midnight I mean the points when the Sun crosses the meridian, and exactly 12 hours later. This can be different from the time on your watch because we define time zones which all use the local time at the centre of the zone.First Quarter moon rises one quarter day after the sun, or around Noon.Around noon, plus or minus a bit depending on where in your time zone you live.
What is your local time if you are 105 E of the prime meridian and greenwich mean time is 6 am?
As your are positioned at 105E of Prime Meridian, you are on a easterly track from prime meridian (ie. GMT time) therefore LMT (Local Mean Time ) at 105E can be calculated as105E\15= 0700hrs ( results as per scientific calculator )Therefore LMT at 105E would be GMT at 105E + 0700ie 0600+0700=1300hrs.Ans Local Mean Time at 105E = 1300hrs
What is the relationship between Greenwich mean time and local mean time?
Greenwich Mean Time is the local mean time at Greenwich, England, which is along the prime meridian (0° longitude).
