One hour of time is equal to how many degree of longitude?
1 revolution / 24 hours = 360 degrees / 24 hours = 15 degrees per hour
How many degrees of longitude equal 1 time zone?
A polar view of the planet is roughly circular, that is, a total 360 degrees. There are about 24 hours in each day. Divide 360 by 24; the answer is 15, so there are 15 degrees of longitude in each time zone.
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 solar time of 72 degrees W longitude if it is noon solar time at 90 degrees W longitude?
If it's noon solar time at 90 degrees W longitude, every 15 degrees of longitude represents a one-hour time difference. So, at 72 degrees W longitude, the solar time would be 2 hours behind (2:00 PM).
If days had 36 hours how many degrees of longitude would each time zone be?
If a day had 36 hours instead of 24, each time zone would cover 30 degrees of longitude instead of the current 15 degrees. This is because the Earth rotates 360 degrees in 24 hours, so with 36 hours in a day, each hour of difference would correspond to 30 degrees of longitude.
What is the longitude of a town if its local time is 6pm when greenwich time is 4pm?
The time difference between the local time and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is 2 hours. Since there are 360 degrees of longitude in a full circle and 24 hours in a day, each hour of time difference corresponds to 15 degrees of longitude. Therefore, the longitude of the town would be 30 degrees west of the Prime Meridian (Greenwich).
How many maridians does a time zone span?
A time zone typically spans 15 degrees of longitude, as there are 24 hours in a day and 360 degrees of longitude around the Earth. This means each time zone covers four meridians, one for each hour.
How many time zones ore there on the Earth?
the earth is divided into 24 time zones, each 15 degrees of longitude in width. Since earth rotates once every 24 hours on its axis and there are 360 degrees of , each hour of Earth rotation represents 15 degrees of longitude.
How many degrees are in each standard time zone?
There are 15 degrees of longitude in each standard time zone
How do you calculate time from latitude?
Every latitude extends all the way around the Earth, and is unrelated to the time at any place.If you were to consider longitude instead, the difference in solar time between two longitudes is(longitude #1)degrees minus (longitude #2)degrees/15 hours.
It is solar noon at your unknown longitude What if your chronometer clock reads 8 am your clock is set to Pacific Standard Time at 120 degrees West Longitude So what is your longitude?
If the chronometer reads 8 AM Pacific Standard Time at solar noon, it indicates that your location is 120 degrees west longitude. This discrepancy in time suggests that you are 2 hours away from the Pacific Time Zone (120 degrees west longitude corresponds to a 2-hour time difference from Pacific Time).
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.
