15 degrees of longitude equals one hour.
However, for national convenience e.g. the USA , there are four time zones . This covers longitudes 70 o W to 125 o W. a difference of 55 degrees. This does not fully cover 4 hours of longitude, but is done for national convenience, into Eastern, Central, Mountain and Western. ,

You are awesomely wrong!
The above is true for longitude, not latitude. The tilt of the earth's axis is approx 23° and over the course of a year, the midday sun appears to move from being overhead at the Tropic of Cancer (Midsummer in the northern hemisphere) to the Tropic of Capricorn (Midwinter) and back again. So, the average speed is 0.0107 degrees per hour. However, in fact the speed follows a sine curve and so depends on the time of the year.

Answer:
Each turn of the Earth = 24 hours = 360o
Therefore each hour is 15o

∙ 14y agoThere are 360 degrees of longitude on Earth and 24 hours a day, so one hour corresponds to 360/24 degrees, which is 15 degrees longitude.

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.
How many degrees of longitude do you need to travel across pass through one hour of time?
The Earth rotates at the rate of roughly 15 degrees of longitude per hour.
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.
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 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.
How many degrees of longitude there are per hour?
15 Degrees per hour
How many degrees of longitude do you need to travel across pass through one hour of time?
The Earth rotates at the rate of roughly 15 degrees of longitude per hour.
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.
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 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 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.
Every 15 degrees of longitude on the earth marks another time zone Into how many time zones are the earth divided?
24-one for each hour(360 degrees divided by 15 degrees equals 24 times)Annette was here :D
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 hours on 15 degrees?
The answer depends on whether you mean 15 degrees on a clock face (0.5 hours) or 15 degrees of longitude (1 hour).
How many degrees of longitude does the sun appear to move each hour if it move 360 in 24 hours?
360 degrees divided by 24 = 15 degrees
How many longitude degrees are between Memphis and Knoxville?
Knoxville sits on 84° West, and Memphis sits on 90° West. 90° minus 84° equals 6°, meaning Knoxville is six degrees of longitude from Memphis.
