It is instantaneous. A longitude is an idealised line and so infinitesimally thin. To go from one longitude to the next takes approx 15 minutes.

What are the units used to subdivide lines latitude and longitude?
Lines of latitude are subdivided into minutes and seconds. Each degree of latitude is divided into 60 minutes, and each minute is divided into 60 seconds. Lines of longitude are subdivided in the same way, using minutes and seconds. However, the length of a minute of longitude is not constant, as it depends on the distance from the equator.
What happens if air bubbles present in potometer?
you can tell how much water has been taken up by measuring the distance the air bubble has moved. You calculate the time taken for the bubble to move this distance as well as the cross sectional area of the capillary tubing!
How if too much is taken from the earth?

What is the point called at which lines of latitude and longitude cross?

Is longitude east to west of the prime meridian?
The Prime Meridian, which passes through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England, is the zero point for the measurement of longitude. East of there, into Europe and on into Asia, it's "east longitude"; to the west, through Ireland, across the Atlantic and across the Americas, it is "west longitude". They meet each other at the 180 degree mark, which is pretty much in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. So if you are sailing west from Hawaii toward the Philippines, your longitude will increase. At some point you're going to cross 179 degrees 59 minutes of west longitude, sail another mile or so to 180 degrees of longitude (which is neither east nor west, or perhaps it's both!) and then sail another mile to 179 degrees, 59 minutes EAST longitude. From then on into Asia, your longitude will steadily decrease.
