When it is 12 noon in London it is 5.30 pm in India How would you explain this?
This is because the Earth rotates 360 degrees in 24 hours, 1 degree in 4 minutes. The standard meridian of India is 82 degree 30E, and that of London is 0 degree. So when it is 12 noon in London, it is 5.30 pm in India.
When the time in London situated at 0 degree longitude is 12 noon what will be the standard time in Delhi situated at 82 degree 30 east?
Answer: Indian Standard Time is based on 82 1/2° E longitude. So if the time in India is 12 noon, so it will be 6.30 A.M. in England or GMT. The time difference between 0° and 82 1/2° E will be 82.5 × 4 – 330 minutes or 330 ÷ 60 = 5 1/2 hours.
What is the difference in time between 60 degree east longitude?
Thus, we can say that the difference in time between the places lying on 60 degree east longitude and prime meridian (0 degree) is 4 hours. Step 2: as the prime meridian lies towards the west of 60 degree east longitude, so the GMT will be 4 hours behind to the local time at 60 degree east longitude i.e. 8A.M in the morning. Step 1.
What is the time difference between 12 noon at 60 degrees?
Rises in the East sets in the west. This is because it is turning towards the East and away from the west. So when it is 12 noon at 60 Deg East it will be 6 hrs before 12 noon at 30 deg west. or 12–6=6AM at 30 deg. west. Damn I gave you the answer. LOL I hope this answer does more than just give you the answer.
How do you find the time at 60 degrees west?
TIME AT 60 DEGREES WEST OF GREENWHICH THEN 12 – 4 = 8 A.M First step is to look for the difference between both longitude which is 60°–0° or 60°+0° which is still 60. Divide it by 15°, you get 4hrs.
How do you convert degrees west to minutes and hours?
Converting the difference in degrees between the two points into minutes gives, 90 by 4 which is equal to 360 minutes.Converting the minutes into hours gives 360/60=6 hours, this is because we know that 1 hour =60 minutes, then the time at 30 degrees west will be 12 noon subtract 6hours because it behind the prime meridian, which gives 6 am.
