answer :
the Earth is Geoid shape so it rotates by 360° in 24 hours. Therefore, the earth takes 4 minutes to move by 1° of longitude. Since the Sun rises in the east and the Earth moves from west to east, time on the eastern hemisphere is ahead of the Greenwich and that on the western hemisphere is behind it.
