Answer 2

Answer:

There are 360 longitudes.

Longitudes run from 90° North Pole to 90° South Pole.

They are semi-circles.

Maximum distance between two longitudes are at the equator.

Our earth is spherical (round) in shape which is 360°

Earth takes 24 Hours to complete one rotation.

It means, we can say that 360° are covered in 24 hours.

Therefore, in 1 hour, earth will rotate 360 divided by 24 = 15°

So in 1 hour 15 degrees, 2 hours 30 degrees, 3 hours 45 degrees…………..and so on.

Now,

Let’s calculate in Minutes.

24 hours = 24 x 60 = 1440 minutes.

we can also say that earth completes one rotation (360°) in 1440 minutes.

So, how much time will it take to reach from one longitude to the other longitude?

1440 divided by 360 = 4 minutes.

Therefore, there is a time difference of 4 minutes between any two longitudes.
