How to calculate the longitude of a place when time is given?
You can calculate the longitude of a place when time is given using the Greenwich solar time.
How do you calculate time from 2 latitudes?
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.
How do you calculate time from latitude and longitude?
Take for example: 75°57′8″W, a line of longitude. We all know that lines of longitude measure the time zones. There are 360 degrees of longitude, and there are 24 hours in a day. Therefore, an hour would be 15 degrees longitude (360/24). 75° would be the number of degrees of longitude. If we take 75 and divide it by 15, we get the number of hours that we want, in this case, 5 hours. 57′ would be the number of minutes. 8″ would be the number of seconds. Sometimes, there are even milliseconds. They are the decimals after the number of
Why would you use longitude and latitude when looking at a map?
We use longitude and latitude when looking at a map to calculate time.
How do you calculate longitude from time?
360° ÷ 24 hr = 15°/hr
