Is it is 12 noon at 60 degree east longitude then explain what would be the time at 30 degree west longitude?

The difference in the “longitudinal stretch” with “known reference” = 60°E -30°W = 90° Time that is taken to “travel longitudinal degree” = 4 minutes. Time taken for 90° = 90 * 4 = 360 minutes = 6 hours. Therefore, if it is 12 noon at 60°E longitude, then time at 30°W longitude is 6.00 AM.

What will be the time at 74 West when it is 12 noon at Greenwich?

Greenwich mean time (GMT) = 12 noon every 1° is equal to 4 minutes. therefore, 74° = 74×4 = 296 minutes. Therefore, When it is 12 noon at Greenwich, the time at New York (74° W) is 7.04 a.m.

Why is the local time at Greenwich considered the international standard time?

It is same for a region or country located on the same latitude. However, countries located in different longitudes have different local times. Thus, for an international coordination between countries, the local time at Greenwich (Greenwich Mean Time) in England is considered to be the international standard time.

How many hours is 74 degrees west on the Greenwich median?

If it is on west of greenwich median than substract the calculated time from actual time of GMT and if it is on east than add. 74°W = 74×4 = 296 minutes i.e 4 hours 56 minutes. Time I have followed is military time i.e 24 hours clock.

What is the time at 60 degrees west?

So, for 60° west, the difference = (60 * 4) minutes = 240 minutes = 4 hours. So, time there will be = (12 noon – 4 hours) = 8 am. TIME AT 60 DEGREES WEST OF GREENWHICH THEN 12 – 4 = 8 A.M

What time zone is noon at Greenwich?

This kind of question comes several times a day with different longitudes and times. Greenwich is in the UK, so the time zone there is GMT in the winter (effectively UTC, give or take a second), and BST (GMT+1) in the summer. So when it’s noon at Greenwich, it will be 11:00 or 12:00 UTC.

How long does it take to cover 75 Longitudes in time?

Now, between A and B, the number of longitudes is (90 – 15 =) 75. Thus, the time to cover 75 longitudes is (75 x 4 =) 300 minutes or (300 ÷ 60 =) 5 hours. Now, since B (at 90W) is to the west of A (at 15W), time-wise, A is ahead of B, by 5 hours.
