Answer:
Because one day is 24 hours long one can easily use time to calculate longitude. One hour of time difference corresponds to 15° of longitude (360°/24 hours = 15°/hour). ... Because of the use of timezones the sun will be highest in the sky from about 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM local time for an observer.
