Question

What is the relationship between longtitude and time?

Answer 1

Answer:

Longitudes run from North to South,from 0 degrees(which passes through Greenwich(England) and sometimes called the Greenwich Meridian)to 180 degrees East or West. Generally 1 degree difference in Longitude, causes a difference of 4 minutes,with the longitude East always ahead in time

Answer 2

One hour of terrestrial time passes for every 15 degrees of longitude. Time zones should theoretically change every 15 degrees of longitude, but political or economic considerations mean that that is rarely the case. There are 360 degrees of longitude in the earth’s sphere, divided by 24 hours in the day gives us the 15 degrees for each hour.

Another way of looking at it is that every hour, our spot on the earth rotates 15 degrees toward the east from where we were at the beginning of that hour.
