How can we determine longitude?
• Earth constantly rotates,Let’s calculate its rate…
• Longitudes can be determined from time. (And time from longitudes!)
• The sun only faces one side of the Earth at a time (12 noon), hours change East or West of the sun.
![Page 26: Latitude & Longitude. Not a lie, just s t r e t c h i n g the truth. All maps are really projections, showing a round Earth as flat](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551c1cc6550346b24f8b59bb/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
15 o / hr !
12 PM (Noon)
Later(past noon)
Earlier(not yet noon)
West is earlier (AM), and east is later (PM)!
If it is 12 PM (noon) at 0o,
what time is it at 180o on the other side of the Earth?
12 AM (Midnight)!
