How are the lines of lines of longitude linked to time?

The lines are relatively useless. But the angle of longitude itself is of interest, because time according to the sun advances through longitude at a steady rate, moving through 1 degree every 4 minutes, or 15 degrees every hour.------There's another way of saying this.The earth revolves once every 24 hours. There are 360o in a circle. Suppose you were in able to remain motionless above the equator, so that the earth could rotate beneath you, and that you were holding a watch. Every hour the earth would rotate through 360o/24=15o.This means that if you started watching the time just as you pass over the zero longitude you would see the 15o longitude at one hour, the 30o longitude at two hours, the 45o at three hours, and so on, until the saw the 360o longitude at the end of a full 24 hours-back where you started.


If two trains on the equator start at the same point but facing in opposite directions which train will reach the point where it started first?

Both trains will reach the starting point at the same time since they are moving in opposite directions on the equator, which forms a complete loop. The distance traveled by both trains will be the same, so they will meet at the starting point simultaneously.


2 major lines of longitude are?

Tropic of Cancer at 23.5 degrees N and Tropic of Capricorn at 23.5 degrees S. * * * * * Slight problem there: those are latitudes, not longitudes! The major longitude is the Greenwich meridian. The other is the line of longitude on the opposite side of the earth - more or less the International Date Line. Except that it is not a straight pole-to-pole line.

What the biggest numbers you can find for a line of longitude?

If two travellers 'A' and 'B' started from the Prime Meridian (zero longitude). 'A' travelled to the West, and ''B travelled to the East, they will meet on the other side of the World at 180 degrees longitude. Therefore, the biggest number is 180 degrees longitude. The International Date Line roughly follows the 180 degrees longitude north-south line on the Earth.
