How do you write one minute past one in the afternoon?
You can write it 2 ways in 12 hour ime and in 24 hour time 12 hour: 01:01 pm 24 hour: 1301
What fraction of one day is 11 hour?
It is: 11/24
How many minutes are in one 24 hour day?
1440 minutes in 24 hours or 86400 seconds in 24 hours
How do you make 1 hour in to a fraction?
Compare it to something else. One hour is 1/24 of a day.
How many degrees of longitude does the sun appear to move each hour if it moves 370 degrees in 24 hours?
Any number you like. Since the predicate statement: "the sun appears to move 370 degrees in 24 hours" is FALSE, then the "conclusion" can be any statement you like. The sun appears to move 360 degrees in 24 hours and so 360/24 = 15 deg each hour.
What is one hour division of longitude?
There are 360 degrees of Longitude around the Earth.The Earth rotates through all of those 360 degrees in a 24 hour period.360 degrees of rotation (in 24 hr) / 24 hours = 15 degrees of Longitude per Hour.
How many degrees of longitude do you need to travel across to pass through one hour time zone?
There are 24 time zones. Divide 360 degrees longitude by 24 and you get 15 degrees for each one-hour time zone.
How many degrees of longitude do you need to travel across to pass through one hour of time?
The Earth rotates at the rate of roughly 15 degrees of longitude per hour.
One hour of time is equal to how many degree of longitude?
1 revolution / 24 hours = 360 degrees / 24 hours = 15 degrees per hour
How many degrees of longitude exist in each hour?
There are fifteen (15) degrees of longitude per time zone. (15 degrees x 24 zones = 360 degrees around the planet)
How many degrees of longitude equal 1 time zone?
A polar view of the planet is roughly circular, that is, a total 360 degrees. There are about 24 hours in each day. Divide 360 by 24; the answer is 15, so there are 15 degrees of longitude in each time zone.
Why does each hour of the day correspond to 15 degrees of longitude?
Because one whole day = 24 hours = 360 degrees of earth's rotation.24 hours = 360 degrees1 hour = 1/24th of a day = 1/24th of 360 degrees = (360/24) = 15 degrees
What is the amount of time in between every time zone in the US?
The difference between time zones is one hour. There are 24 time zones - one for every 15 degrees of longitude.
How many degrees of longitude does the sun appear to move each hour if it moves 360 degrees in 24 hours?
360 divided by 24 equals 15. The sun appears to move 15 degrees each hour, or one degree every four minutes.
How many minutes does it take for the Sun to cross one degree of longitude?
The Sun travels around the Earth once every 24 hours. The Earth is divided into 360 degrees of longitude. Therefore, the Sun transits 15 degrees every hour (360 divided by 24). If it crosses 15 degrees in 60 minutes, it will cross one degree every 4 minutes (60 divided by 15).
Are time zones based on 35 degrees longitude?
No, time zones are based on 15 degrees longitude, because there are 360 degrees of longitude on the globe and 24 hours a day, so 360/24 makes 15. But, there are 24 time zones for 25 times (-12, -11, ... -1, 0, +1, ... +11, +12) and half-hour and quarter-hour variations so it really isn't based on anything.
How much time does each longitude line measure?
There is no standard set of "lines", so if you want to compare two "lines", you have to specify which two you're talking about. The Earth turns through 360 degrees of longitude in 24 hours. So every 15 degrees of longitude corresponds to one hour of rotation. If you want the clock to read 12:00 Noon when the sun peaks in the sky everywhere, then you have to change the clocks by one hour for every 15 degrees of longitude.
