Answer:

The time in each successive time zone is one hour different from the times in neighboring time zones. To establish time zones, Earth's rotation rate of 360 degrees of longitude per day was divided by 24 hours. The result shows that Earth turns 15 degrees of longitude per hour.

Hello friends.i am here to help you

The Earth rotates 360° of longitude in 24 hours, which means that for 1-degree rotation of longitude, the Earth takes 4 minutes. As the Earth rotates, every meridian on it faces the Sun at least once. As the Earth rotates from west to east, the places situated to the east of the Prime Meridian have sunrise earlier than those situated to its west.

The time difference between any two places is due to the difference in longitudes between those places. For example, Kolkata is located at 90°E longitude and London at 0°. The time difference is thus 6 hours between the two.
