Longitude and latitude, the relationship of longitude in calculating time ??

• Longitude lines in the globe are located from north to south of the globe.
• Circles of latitude from the east of the globe to the west.
• The globe is divided into 360 longitudes and 180 latitudes.

Latitude:

Hand-drawn circles of latitude in the form of Earth's earth circle lines, showing to measure the distance in degrees, a circle north of the equator, a circle of the hemisphere and its south.

Lines length:

Longitude lines are drawn from the direction of North and South that meet at the poles, starting from the North Pole point and ending with the South Pole point perpendicular to the latitude circles.

Latitude:

They are parallel circuits and parallel to the steps.

The number of latitudes is 180 circles divided in half, 90 circles north and 90 circles south of the equator.

The circles of the circle are considered equal in length, the largest of which is the circle circle in smallness the farther we are from the equator in the north and south until it becomes at the north and south poles.

longitude:

Longitude lines come in the form of equal semicircles that meet at the northern and southern points.

The number of longitudes is 360 lines. The main line is the (Greenwich) line. This line starts near a city and on the basis of this line, the lines are divided into 180 lines east and 180 lines west of Greenwich.

These lines are perpendicular to circles.

What benefits are latitude and longitude:

1. Latitude:

1. Determine OK north or south of the equator.
2. Knowledge of the climate in the common ground area (autumn, winter, spring and summer).

2. Longitude:

1. Determine places east or west of the Greenwich line.
2. Determining the time and functional periods between all regions of the world.

time calculation:

It is currently rotating around itself in 24 hours working from it in the day, as the sun passes the point 360 meridians,

Another calculation: 360 dividing 24 hours = 15 degrees per hour 160 minutes dividing 15 = 4 minutes per degree.

Another example: 24 hours * 60 = 1440 minutes per day.

1440 minutes divided by 360 degrees The number of longitudes = 4 minutes and 4 counts for each degree 15 * 4 = 60 = 1 hour.

So based on that, we can calculate the time difference between two points in the world.

• Practical for calculating the time between any two points in the world:

Find out the longitude of the line of the first point, that is, its distance from the Greenwich line.

We multiply the line number by 4.

We add (+) the result from the carved point east of the Greenwich line, but if the point is west of Greenwich, we subtract (-).

• Practical example:

City A is 12 longitudes east of Greenwich.

If the time in Greenwich is 10 am, the time in the A zone is 10:48 am.

But if Zone A is west of Greenwich it becomes 9:12 am and the Greenwich line is 10:00 am.

• An example of calculating the time difference between two points A, B:

If there is one Greenwich line east, sign, west, sign, sign, sign, number of lines:

A point located on line 40 and a point located in an area located on line 60:

60-40 = 20 line difference between them, 20 * 4 = 80 minute difference between them.

Greenwich, City of West Greenwich, sp with the following steps:

We add the lines and multiply by 4.

The product of the multiplication of the city west of Greenwich.

We add (+) the product of the city east of Greenwich.

1. Example:

City located on line 20 East: Greenwich and city located on line 40 West:

Broadcasting sums 20 + 40 = 60 lines.

So the time difference = 60 * 4 = 240 minutes divided by 60 = 4 hours.

The time in the eastern city is 4 hours while the time in the city B west of Greenwich is 4 hours.
