Answer:
Because of the earth's rotation, there is a close connection between longitude and time. Local time (for example from the position of the sun) varies with longitude, a difference of 15° longitude corresponding to a one-hour difference in local time.

Because local time is based on local noon at a particular location when the sun is due South (or North in the Southern Hemisphere) and at its highest point in the sky. Since the sun rises in the east and sets in the west it must mean that that the sun is at local noon at some point to your east at your sunrise and it will be local noon at your location a number of hours later. Each place on earth goes through this drill every 24 hours. The earth is revolving and your location faces the sun eve
