How do longitudes determine time?

Answers

Answered by neetish64

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.
