Calculating Time 2

Calculating Time Ok, so we already know the following: - 1 hour is 15° - 1° is 4 minutes - Add 1 hour when moving to the east - Minus 1 hour when moving to the West Here's how to do your calculations Example 1 If a place is 45°E , then it is ahead of Greenwich Meridian. If the time is 12 midday at Greenwich what time will it be at 60°E? Step 1 45°E   = 3 hours ahead of Greenwich 15°E 12 midday plus 3 hours would be 3pm This could also be done using a number line Example 2 If a place is 76°E , then it is ahead of Greenwich Meridian. If the time is 12 midday at Greenwich what time will it be at 60°E? Step 1 76°E   = 5 hours remaining 1 ° 15°E 1 ° equals 4 minutes therefore  76 °E would be 5 hours and 4 minutes ahead of Greenwich 12 midday plus 5 hours and 4 minutes would be 5:04pm Try the Calculating Time Worksheet. If you have any questions, ask them in the comments below.  All the Best

Calculating Time 1

Important Points to Remember - The Earth Rotates from West to  East - Places to the East see the sun first - Imagine the sun at 1 end, that is at the East and the Earth at the West rotating on its axis                                                                                                 Now visualize the lines of Longitude on the Earth. All places on the same line of longitude will see the sun at the same time during the day. When calculating time, we start from 0 degree longitude which is Greenwich Meridian Time (G.M.T) or the Prime Meridian. So places to the East of the 0 degree line will be ahead of time, therefore, you will add time. Likewise, places to the West of the 0 degree line will be behind time, therefore you will minus time. Example: If it is 1pm at 0 degrees, East of the 0 degree line will be past 1pm. so it could be 2pm, 3pm, 4 pm etc. and West of the 0 degree line will be before 1pm, so it could be 12 midday, 11am, 10 am etc. So n
