If the time at 50° East longitude is 11 a.m. What will be the time at 13° west longitude?
Answer
- The longitudinal difference: 50° + 13° = 63°
- For 1 longitudinal difference time difference is 4 minutes.
- So, for 63° longitudinal difference, the time difference is 63° x 4 = 252 minutes or 4 hours 12 minutes.
- As the given place is situated in the west of 50° east longitude, the local time at 13° west will be: (11 a.m. - 4 hours 12 minutes) = 6:48 a.m.
