Question

3. What is the relationship between longitude and time? Give example​

Answer 1

Answer: This may help you

Explanation:

Local time is the time at one particular meridian. Since the sun cannot transit two meridians simultaneously, no two meridians have exactly the same local time. The difference in time between two meridians is the time of the sun's passage from one meridian to the other.

It takes 4 minutes to travel from one longitude to another. So, generally 1 degree difference in Longitude, causes a difference of 4 minutes. The places located in the East of the Prime Meridian are ahead in time to the places located in the Western Hemisphere.
