Question

What is the difference between 10 minutes longitude and time?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Because one day is 24 hours long one can easily use time to calculate longitude. One hour of time difference corresponds to 15° of longitude (360°/24 hours = 15°/hour). Suppose an observer sets his accurate watch to 12:00 at noon in Greenwich, England and then travels a great distance.The time difference is 3 hours. Each hour is equal to 15° of longitude. So the difference in longitude is 45°.
