if it is 12 noon at 6o degrre e longitude then explain what would be time at 30 degrre w longitude
Answers
as each longitude has a time difference of 4 min and time increases as we move east then
the greenwhich time would be 12:00-4×60⇒8:00 in the morning
the time at 30 degree west would be 8:00-4×30⇒6:00 in the morning
Question:-
If it is 12 noon at 60° longitude E then Explain what would be time at 30° W longitude .
Answer:-
Local time of any place is determined by its longitudinal location. The time at 30° W longitude can be determined with reference to know the time at any given longitudinal location.
The difference in the longitudinal stretch with known reference = 60°E - 30°W =90°
Time is taken to travel longitudinal degree = 4 minutes
Time taken for 90° = 90×4 = 360 minutes = 6 hours
Thus, if it is 12 noon at 60°E longitude, then time at 30° W longitude would be 6 AM.
