Each degree of a longitude is divided into minutes and seconds for accurate calculations of the locations. Each degree is found to be 111 Km maximum at the Equator region. Two longitudes have time difference of 4 minutes and thus, the time of a location is calculated as 4 x longitude degree from Prime Meridian.
