what is the significance of Greenwich Mean Time
Answers
hi friend,
here is your answer
DescriptionGreenwich Mean Time is the mean solar time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London, reckoned from midnight. At different times in the past, it has been calculated in different ways, including being calculated from noon; as a consequence, it cannot be used to specify a precise time unless a context is given.
Answer:The time on the line of 0° longitude, which passes through Greenwich,
England, is used as a basic time throughout the world.
Q.10 If the time in London is 10.00 p.m. What will be the time on 60° East
longitude?
Ans - Time in London = 10.00 p.m.
As we know 1°=4 minutes
So 60°=60×4= 240 minutes=240/60hour (convert minutes into hours)
= 4 hours
Also, time increases when we move towards east from the Prime meridian
So the time at 60°E will be 10:00pm +4:00 hr = 2:00 am
