Just under four minutes.
There are 1 degree of longitude for every 15 minutes. Therefore, 4 minutes of longitude is equal to 1/15th of a degree.
The Sun travels around the Earth once every 24 hours. The Earth is divided into 360 degrees of longitude. Therefore, the Sun transits 15 degrees every hour (360 divided by 24). If it crosses 15 degrees in 60 minutes, it will cross one degree every 4 minutes (60 divided by 15).
"Lines of longitude" are conceptual, not physical; there can be as many as we want. For example, there are 3600 "seconds of longitude" between each degree of longitude. That's 60 minutes of arc per degree, and 60 seconds of arc per minute.
The local time of any place changes by 4 minutes for every degree of longitude that it moves east or west from the Greenwich Meridian.
For every degree of longitude, is divided into 60 minutes. Each minute is then divided into 60 seconds. Since 1 degree equals 60 nautical miles. Then 1 minute equals 1 nautical mile Then 1 second equals approximately 35 yards across.
There are 1 degree of longitude for every 15 minutes. Therefore, 4 minutes of longitude is equal to 1/15th of a degree.
The earth rotates 360o of longitude every 24 hours, so it takes 24 ÷ 360 hours to rotate 1o of longitude: 24 ÷ 360 hours = 24/360 hours = 1/15 hours = 1/15 x 60 minutes = 4 minutes The sun will cross 1o of longitude in the same time that the earth takes to rotate 1o of longitude, namely 4 minutes.
The Sun travels around the Earth once every 24 hours. The Earth is divided into 360 degrees of longitude. Therefore, the Sun transits 15 degrees every hour (360 divided by 24). If it crosses 15 degrees in 60 minutes, it will cross one degree every 4 minutes (60 divided by 15).
Roughly 4 minutes.
360 degrees of longitude = 24 hours so 1 degree = 24 hours/360 = 0.066... hours = 4 minutes
1 degree = 60 arc minutes so 0.5 degrees of latitude or longitude is 30 arc minutes.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minute_and_second_of_arc

60 minutes in each degree. The International Date Line is at around +180° longitude. If we start moving to the West from +180° longitude after 6 hours we will reach at +90° longitude position and after 24 hours we will reach at -180° longitude which is nothing but our starting position. In this time (24X60=1440 minutes) our Planet moves 360° in total. Now it is clear to realize that 1° equivalent to 4 minutes.
It is 3600 seconds for you have 60 minutes in every degree so there are 60 seconds in every minute.
The local time of any place changes by 4 minutes for every degree of longitude that it moves east or west from the Greenwich Meridian.
