Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the local time at 120°E when it is 3:00 PM at 0° longitude?
  • Step 1: Understand that 0° longitude is the Prime Meridian, where the local time is 3:00 PM.
  • Step 2: Know that the Earth is divided into 360 degrees of longitude.
  • Step 3: Realize that each 15 degrees of longitude represents 1 hour of time difference.
  • Step 4: Calculate how many hours ahead 120°E is from 0° longitude by dividing 120 by 15. This gives you 8 hours.
  • Step 5: Add the 8 hours to the current time of 3:00 PM. So, 3:00 PM + 8 hours = 11:00 PM.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the local time at 120°E is 11:00 PM.
