add the degrees of two places you want to find. Then multiply the answer with 4.Then divide it with 60.The answer you get is the time difference between two places
You can calculate the longitude of a place when time is given using the Greenwich solar time.
Every latitude extends all the way around the Earth, and is unrelated to the time at any place.If you were to consider longitude instead, the difference in solar time between two longitudes is(longitude #1)degrees minus (longitude #2)degrees/15 hours.
We use longitude and latitude when looking at a map to calculate time.
360° ÷ 24 hr = 15°/hr
The time difference between the local time and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is 2 hours. Since there are 360 degrees of longitude in a full circle and 24 hours in a day, each hour of time difference corresponds to 15 degrees of longitude. Therefore, the longitude of the town would be 30 degrees west of the Prime Meridian (Greenwich).

0 degrees longitude
As all the lines of longitude meet there, it is impossible to calculate time there.

30degrees
You can find the difference in the values of longitude for the two places. Then divide the difference in longitude by 15, and you will get the number of hours difference.
To calculate standard time, subtract the equation of time from the sundial time, then subtract the longitude from the answer you get.
360° ÷ 24 hr = 15°/hr
15 degrees because for every 15 degrees of longitude that you move, you enter a new time zone. As you move west, you gain an hour; as you move east, you lose an hour. There are 360 degrees on the Earth, which divided by 24 hours in the day, give 15 degrees of longitude per time zone. You can calculate the time by knowing the longitude of two locations and a time at one of them. By measuring the difference in longitude and dividing it by 15, you arrive at the time of the second location.
