Answer:
Each degree is divided into minutes and minutes into seconds.
The Earth takes 24 hours to complete one rotation or to cover 360° of longitudes.
This means that the Earth covers 15° of longitudes every hour.
One degree of longitude takes 4 minutes (1 hour = 60 minutes, divided by 15° per hour = 4 minutes per longitude)
