calcute time at 35 degree east longitude when it is 6:30 at Gmt
Answers
Answer: 8:50
Explanation:
FACTS:
Earth is a geoid so we have a total of 360°.
We have circa 24 hours in a day.
Each hour is 360° ÷24 hours = 15° (in Longitude equivalent)
Longitudes to East of GMT are ahead of GMT time
Longitudes to West of GMT are behind the GMT time
GMT = Greenwich Meridian Time = 0°East/West
GMT is now referred to as UTC (Coordinated Universal Time)
WORKING:
35° East = 15° (60min) + 15° (60min) + 5°(20min) =
140 Minutes or 2 hr 20 Minutes
Adding this to the current GMT Time (6:30), the current time at 35°E = 6:30 + 2:20 = 8:50.
Since the Question does not explicitly mentions AM/PM and the time is mentioned in 12-hour clock, we cannot determine whether it is day-time or night-time.
FUN FACT: Since the information of longitude alone is not sufficient to identify the exact location on map, we cannot determine the country under consideration. However, the said country is most likely situated in Eastern Europe or Africa.
