If the time at 10 degree East is 12 noon, then what will be the time at 10 degree West?
Question
If the time at 10 degree East is 12 noon, then what will be the time at 10 degree West?
Solution
The Earth is divided into 360 degrees around its circumference and there are 24 hours in a day. Therefore, each hour represents a shift of 15 degrees longitude (360 degrees/24 hours = 15 degrees/hour).
If it's 12 noon at 10 degrees East, to find the time at 10 degrees West, we need to calculate the difference in degrees and then convert that to time.
The difference between 10 degrees East and 10 degrees West is 20 degrees (10 degrees + 10 degrees).
20 degrees is 1.33 hours (20 degrees / 15 degrees per hour), or 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Therefore, if it's 12 noon at 10 degrees East, it would be 10:40 AM at 10 degrees West.
