Answer:
The time difference between each longitude (each degree) is 4 minutes. So if it is 12 noon at Greenwich (0 degree), it would be 12:04 pm at 1 degree meridian and so on. ... Time is calculated by observing the crossover of distant stars as they pass trough meridian. A complete rotation be equal to 24 hours, approximately.
