There are 360° around the spherical surface of the Earth, marking degrees of angle. There are 24 hours in a solar day. So a time of one hour would see the Earth rotate through 15°. (360/24 = 15)
Time zones are not all created equal. The edges can move in or out to capture territory that needs to be the same time as the rest of a state or country. Each time zone is normally one hour's difference from the adjacent zone. Clocks a zone to the east would be one hour later, and clocks a zone to the west would be one hour earlier.
The initial program for standardizing time would have the whole world on Greenwich Mean Time. This would mean clocks at the opposite side of the earth (180°) would show midnight when the Sun was at noon in Greenwich (0°).
What else can I help you with?
How many degrees of longitude equal 1 time zone?
A polar view of the planet is roughly circular, that is, a total 360 degrees. There are about 24 hours in each day. Divide 360 by 24; the answer is 15, so there are 15 degrees of longitude in each time zone.
How many degrees of longitude exist in each hour?
There are fifteen (15) degrees of longitude per time zone. (15 degrees x 24 zones = 360 degrees around the planet)
If there are 360 degress of longitude around the earth and there are 24 times zones how many degrees does each time zone cover?
360 degrees / 24 timezones = 15 degrees per timezone
What is the time difference between each degree of longitude?
The time difference per degree is 4 minutes. (1440 minutes divided by 360). There are 15 degrees of longitude for each hourly time zone, yielding 24 zones times 15 degrees, which also equals 360.
If days had 36 hours how many degrees of longitude would each time zone be?
If a day had 36 hours instead of 24, each time zone would cover 30 degrees of longitude instead of the current 15 degrees. This is because the Earth rotates 360 degrees in 24 hours, so with 36 hours in a day, each hour of difference would correspond to 30 degrees of longitude.
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 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.
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)
When it is 10am at 45W what is it at 45E?
If it is 10 am at 45 degrees W longitude, it is 4 pm at 45 E longitude.
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.
If time zones were perfectly straight how many degrees of longitude would each one be?
15
How many time zones ore there on the Earth?
the earth is divided into 24 time zones, each 15 degrees of longitude in width. Since earth rotates once every 24 hours on its axis and there are 360 degrees of , each hour of Earth rotation represents 15 degrees of longitude.
