What will be the time at Greenwich meridian when it is 12 noon at longitude 60\(^0\)E

What will be the time at Greenwich meridian when it is 12 noon at longitude 60\(^0\)E

The difference in longitude between the Greenwich meridian (long,0\(^0\) ) and longitude 60\(^0\)E =60\(^0\)

For a longitude difference of 15\(^0\) , there will be a time difference of 1 hr Thus, for 60\(^0\) , the time difference will be

\(\frac{1hr}{15º} \times 60º \) =4hrs

since we have traveled west of 60\(^0\)E to reach 0\(^0\) ( Greenwich meridians)

We subtract time

Thus .if it is 12 noon at long 60\(^0\)E the time at Greenwich meridian =14noon -4hrs =8.00 am
