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 else can I help you with?
Are latitude lines used to determine time zones?
It's the lines of longitude which are used to define time zones, not lattitude.
Is latitude the basis for establishing time zones?
Time Zones are based on lines of Longitude - with detours to avoid land.
How can you find your approximate latitude and longitude at sea?
You can find your approximate latitude using a sextant to measure the angle of the sun or the North Star above the horizon. For longitude, you need an accurate clock to determine the time difference between noon at your location and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) since Earth rotates 15 degrees longitude per hour. By combining your latitude and longitude measurements, you can plot your position on a nautical chart.
Do cities on the same line of latitude have the same time?
Oh, dude, no way! Cities on the same line of latitude don't necessarily have the same time. Time zones are a thing, you know? So, even if you're chilling on the same latitude line, you might be in a different time zone, and that means different times, bro. It's like time traveling without the DeLorean.
How do you calculate time from latitude and longitude?
Take for example: 75°57′8″W, a line of longitude. We all know that lines of longitude measure the time zones. There are 360 degrees of longitude, and there are 24 hours in a day. Therefore, an hour would be 15 degrees longitude (360/24). 75° would be the number of degrees of longitude. If we take 75 and divide it by 15, we get the number of hours that we want, in this case, 5 hours. 57′ would be the number of minutes. 8″ would be the number of seconds. Sometimes, there are even milliseconds. They are the decimals after the number of

What are the invisible lines in the world length and width?
Latitude and Longitude. Do a google search next time.

Why are latitude lines not used as the basis in establishing time zones?
Because time is based on the Earth's rotation which is from west to east, so that the Sun appears to move from east to west. Latitude lines run around the Earth east and west, so the sun doesn't cross them as it does longitude lines.
Why would you use longitude and latitude when looking at a map?
We use longitude and latitude when looking at a map to calculate time.
Where lines of latitude and longitude intersect is called?
Oh, dude, that's an easy one. When lines of latitude and longitude intersect, it's called a coordinate or a point. So, like, when you're looking for a specific location on a map, you use those coordinates to pinpoint where you need to go. It's like playing a giant game of Battleship, but with real places.
What are meridians and parrells?
lines of latitude are parallels and lines of longitude are meridians. latitude lines are circles around the earth running east west (like equator) longitude lines run north - south and they meet at two spots, the north pole and the south pole. Meridians also determine the time at a location on the earth.
What will be the nature of time between two places situated at the same longitude but different latitude?
Longitude lines go from North to South.Latitude lines go from East to West.This means that two points on the same longitude but different latitude will most likely be in the same time zone and therefore have the same time on their clocks.There are minor exceptions to this, as some time zones are quite erratic in their structure, but IN GENERAL they will be the same.
Where can we find the equator and the prime meridian?
they are
