Answer:
Each degree of longitude at the equator can be divided into 60 minutes or arc, so one minute of longitude equals one nautical mile. Each minute of longitude can be further divided into 60 seconds of longitude. ... 24 hours X 15 deg. per time zone hour = 360 deg., or one full day

Longitude is based on earth's rate of
rotation(rate is speed)
Time zones are based on longitude.
Use the rate of change equation(Page 1 ESRT's)
To determine earth's rate of rotation:
Earth rotated ones every 24 Hours.
In that time it completes one full rotation
which is equal to 360 degrees
