You cannot reliably determine a place's time zone by its longitude. The best you can do is to calculate the local mean time for the longitude. That is because every country is free to choose whatever time zone(s) it wants, and therefore there are many places where the time zone is not the local mean time rounded to the nearest hour.
To calculate the local mean time at a certain longitude when it's noon UTC, using x° for x° east and -x° for x° west, add 180° to the longitude, multiply by 4 minutes per degree, and divide by 60 minutes per hour.
What else can I help you with?
How many degrees of longitude do you need to travel across to pass through one time zone?
360° of longitude divided by 24 time zones gives 15° per time zone (average)
Which line of longitude bends keep islands of the same nation in the same time zone?
No line of longitude bends, but the time-zone boundaries are defined to depart from the meridians in order to accomplish that.
Lines of what determine the time zone?
Greenwich outside London, Britain.prime meridianGreenwich Meridian_____________Clarification. Each of the world's basic time zones is 15 degrees of latitude wide. It should be obvious that 15 degrees times 24 equals 360 degrees, accounting for the entire globe. The system of latitude and longitude was established in Greenwich with Greenwich at zero degrees longitude, but the time zones were defined in such a way that Greenwich is in the middle of its zone. That time zone extends for 7.5 degrees to the east and to the west of the Greenwich meridian, defining its full 15 degrees.
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.
What lines of latitude and longitude determines time?
Only the Prime meridian determines time. The International Date Line determines days because it is a separator of Day 1 and Day 2. The equator, Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, Arctic Circle and Antarctic Circle determine different regions on Earth that have different climates.
What is the longitude of time zone Z?
Zulu Time = UTC
Which Time Zone includes 2200W longitude?
There is no such longitude. The maximum degrees for lines of longitude is 180 east and west only.
How many degrees are in each standard time zone?
There are 15 degrees of longitude in each standard time zone
How many degrees of longitude do you need to travel across to pass through one time zone?
360° of longitude divided by 24 time zones gives 15° per time zone (average)

What is one of the 24 one hour divisions of longitude?
It is a time zone.
The time zone abbreviation z denotes which meridian?
latitude and longitude
Time zone centered upon 120 degrees west?
The time zone centered at 120° west longitude is UTC-8.
What line of longitude would be at the center of the time zone containing the prime meridian?
That would be zero degrees longitude.
