When it's 4 PM INST, the local mean time along 60° east longitude is 2:30 PM.
That meridian has no special name. If it's shown at all on a map or globe, it'll be labeled "60".
The altitude at which the celestial equator intersects your local meridian is the complementof your latitude, i.e. the difference between your latitude and 90 degrees.On the equator: Your latitude is zero. (90 - 0) = 90. Celestial equator passes overhead.At the pole: Your latitude is 90. (90 - 90) = 0. Celestial equator coincides with the horizon.In New Orleans, Louisiana, or Durban, South Africa: Your latitude is 30. (90 - 30) = 60.Celestial equator intersects local meridian at 60 degrees above the horizon.
The Urals. They are generally considered to be the dividing line between Europe and Asia.
"60°W" is 60 degrees west of the Prime Meridian. "15°E" is 15 degrees east of the Prime Meridian. If they're both at the same latitude, then "60°W" is four times as far from the Prime Meridian (in miles or km) as "15°E" is. But if they're not at any particular latitudes, then it's quite possible for "15°E" to be farther from the Prime Meridian (in miles or km) than "60°W" is.
The Arctic Ocean, the Arabian Sea, and the Indian Ocean, all cross the meridian of 60 degrees East longitude. It makes no difference where you are.
That meridian has no special name. If it's shown at all on a map or globe, it'll be labeled "60".
The driving distance from Meridian, Georgia to Savannah, Georgia is 60 miles.

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.
The meridian of 60 degrees west longitude crosses parts of North America, South America, and Antarctica.
India has the largest Hindu population. 60 million Hindus are in India. So the largest population is in India.
It is a longitude. The "E" means east of the chosen reference point (meridian) - nowadays, usually the Greenwich meridian is used. Minutes and seconds are subdivisions of a degree; 1 degree = 60 minutes, and 1 minute = 60 seconds.
