New York State is crossed by multiple parallels and meridians, but the most significant ones are the Tropic of Cancer and the Prime Meridian. The Tropic of Cancer passes through the southernmost tip of New York City, while the Prime Meridian does not pass through the state but serves as the starting point for measuring longitude.
MapQuest estimates the driving time as 17 hours and 48 minutes.
Greenwich is a place in England. If you look at a map, places to the left are west of Greenwich and places to the right are east. A meridian is any line which runs from north pole to south pole and the meridian that runs through Greenwich is called the Greenwich Meridian and by definition is zero degrees. All other meridians are measured in degrees from zero. E.g. New York is -74 degrees, meaning it's west of Greenwich by 74 degrees.
Distance east or west from the Prime Meridian is measured in degrees of longitude, with 0 degrees being the Prime Meridian itself. Locations to the east are expressed as positive values, while locations to the west are expressed as negative values. For example, New York City, which lies west of the Prime Meridian, is located at approximately -74 degrees longitude.
The Prime Meridian is the zero line of Longitude that runs from pole to pole, passing through the Greenwich Observatory, London, Great Britain.
New Zealand ranges in longitude between roughly 166.47° East to 178.55° East. Longitude is measured from the Prime Meridian, so those are the angles if you start at the Prime Meridian and travel eastward. Traveling westward from the Prime Meridian, the corresponding angles are 181.45° and 193.53° .
Lunitidal interval is the length of time from when the moon passes over a meridian and the next high tide at that meridian. Lunitidal interval for Boston (USA) is approximately 11 hours 20 minutes.
New York is on US Eastern Standard Time which is the same as Greenwich Mean Time -5. That means that New York is 5 hours behind the time at the Prime Meridian in Greenwich England (GMT 0). Examples: When it is 6:00 am in New York, it is 11:00 am at Greenwich Mean Time in England. The US Central Standard time = GMT -6, so when it is 6:00 am in New York, it is 5:00 am in the Central time zone and 11:00 am in England.
