What else can I help you with?
Why most time zones follow the prime meridian not the lines of longitude?
The prime meridian is a line of longitude
Are latitude lines used to determine time zones?
It's the lines of longitude which are used to define time zones, not lattitude.
What zones do the lines of longitude divide the world into?
The polar and temperate zones and the tropics.
Is latitude the basis for establishing time zones?
Time Zones are based on lines of Longitude - with detours to avoid land.
Line of longitude exactly divisible by 15 degrees?
A line of longitude exactly divisible by 15 degrees would be every 15th meridian, such as 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, etc. These lines help with dividing the Earth into time zones and are commonly used for navigation and mapping purposes.
Do the time zones always follow the lines of longitude?
yes

What global grid lines determine times zones?
The Prime Meridian (0 degrees longitude) and the International Date Line (180 degrees longitude) determine time zones across the globe. Time zones are typically one hour apart for every 15 degrees of longitude difference.
What do longitude lines have to do with time?
There are 24 time zones. The Earth is 360 degrees around the circumference. So, for every 15 degrees of longitude there is one time zone.
Why don't the time zones follow the longitude?
They do follow the longitude approximately but in some regions there are political reasons for changing them, for example a large part of Russia is on GMT+3 to make things simpler for the people who live there.
How are time zones broken up according to longitude?
There are 24 hours in a day and 360 degrees so the globe is divided into 24 time zones that are 360°/24 = 15 ° wide. Of course the time zones do not follow the longitudes exactly. Different localities may opt to be part of an adjacent time zone for business purposes. Most of western Europe is on the same time zone even though the countries span about 30° of longitude. There are also some locations that choose to follow their own time zone that is half way in between the nearest time zones - such as India and central Australia. The "international date line" follows (roughly) the 180 ° longitude.
What do lines of longitude tell us on a map?
Lines of longitude tells us where we are in relation to the Prime Meridian, either to the west or east.For an exact position on Earth, both lines of latitude and longitude (in degrees plus minutes and seconds) are used.
What 3 lines of longitude pass through Australia?
The three lines of longitude that pass through Australia are 138°E, 144°E, and 153°E. They are used to divide the country into different time zones.
