Calculating time through longitude and latitude
Finding Longitude. Because one day is 24 hours long one can easily use time to calculate longitude. One hour of timedifference corresponds to 15° of longitude(360°/24 hours = 15°/hour). Suppose an observer sets his accurate watch to 12:00 at noon in Greenwich, England and then travels a great distance.
