what would be the local time day and date of 179°E and 179°W when it is 8 a.m. on 9 December Wednesday at Greenwich ? *urgent*....
Answers
Answer:
At 8:00 on 9 December at the London suburb of Greenwich, like elsewhere in the UK, the time will be effectively 8:00 UTC.
On the other side of the world, look for a convenient time zone. It’s not easy, since most of the area is ocean. Assuming that one (or both) of these lines go through Tonga or Samoa, the time there would be 21:00 on the same day. The easternmost time zone of Russia also crosses these lines, so the time there would be 20:00, also on the same day.
In the other direction, the western Aleutian islands also cross these lines. There the time would be UTC-10, i.e. 22:00 on 8 December. It’s possible that some of the islands with time zone offset UTC-11 or UTC-12 also go through one of these lines. There the time would be 20:00 or 21:00 on 8 December
