What else can I help you with?
How many degrees of longitude do you need to travel across pass through one hour of time?
The Earth rotates at the rate of roughly 15 degrees of longitude per hour.
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.
How many degrees of longitude do you need to travel across to pass through one hour time zone?
There are 24 time zones. Divide 360 degrees longitude by 24 and you get 15 degrees for each one-hour time zone.
For every 15 degrees of longitude there is difference of how much time?
For every 15 degrees of longitude traveled eastwards, there is typically a time difference of one hour ahead. This is due to the Earth's rotation at 15 degrees per hour.
What is the relation between longitude and time?
The Earth rotates at a steady rate of 360° per day, or 15° per hour so there is a direct relationship between time and longitude. If navigator on a ship knows the time they left port and has an accurate time reference on ship then they can calculate the longitude and their position. It was critical for sailors to know their location and where the nearest land was located.
What is one hour of time equal to longitude degrees?
One hour equals 15 degrees.
What is one of the 24 one hour divisions of longitude?
It is a time zone.

How many degrees of longitude there are per hour?
15 Degrees per hour

How does latitude and time relate?
They don't. Local time alters with longitude, by one hour per 15 degrees.
How many kilometer make 1 hour?
Oh, what a lovely question! In one hour, you can travel a certain distance, just like a happy little cloud floating across the sky. The distance you can cover in one hour depends on how fast you are going. It's like painting a beautiful landscape - you can use different brush strokes to create different effects.
One hour of time is equal to how many degree of longitude?
1 revolution / 24 hours = 360 degrees / 24 hours = 15 degrees per hour
Do lines of longitude have anything to do with measuring time?
yes... The longitude that the sun is directly over at any point in time is on average 15
