Question

Find the time in 180°East longitude and 180° west longitude when the time of the Greenwich meridian is Monday 8 Am.​

Answer 1

Answer:

180° West and 180° East are the same longitude. The time at any particular location on that line will depend on what time zone that location is in, and whether they have Daylight Savings Time. Without adjusting for DST, the time will be 24:00hrs in the 24-hour clock, or 12:00 midnight if you’re using a twelve-hour clock.

Time zones are arranged according to the convenience of the nations in the zones. For example, Auckland, New Zealand’s (at 174° East) time zone is defined as UTC+13 until April 1st, when they switch the clocks back an hour, making it UTC+12. Today (March 25th) at midday in my timezone (UTC+1) it will be 01:00 am on March 26th in Auckland.

On the other hand, Alofi at 170° West is in the UTC-11 time zone, so at midday here, it will be 24:00 on the same date in Alofi.

Things are a little complicated by the fact that midnight is defined as the very first moment of the day, so that at 11:59am here in the London time zone, it is 11:59pm on the same day in Auckland, and 11:59pm on the day before in Alofi.
