Answer:
Explanation:
The earth spins through 360 degrees in 24 hours, meaning that in one hour the earth spins through (360÷24=)15 degrees. This means that, technically, as you travel around the earth, each 15 degrees of longitude difference in the location of places means that they should have a time difference of one hour.
Greenwich is located at 0 longitude
So the distance is 145 longitudes.
145/15=9.66
Therefore the time @ 145 longitude is 21:39
