Question

Яка відстань меридіанами якщо їх місцевий час відрізняється на 1год 20хв?

Answer 1

1 год 20 хв = 80 хв.

4 хв = 1°

80 хв / 4 хв = 20° — відстань між меридіанами.

Відповідь: меридіани розташовані на 20° один від одного.

Answer 2

Calculating Distance Between Meridians Based on Time Difference

To calculate the distance between meridians based on a time difference, we can use the fact that the Earth completes one full rotation in 24 hours, which corresponds to 360 degrees of longitude. Therefore, every hour of time difference corresponds to 15 degrees of longitude.

Given that the local time difference is 1 hour 20 minutes, we can convert this to decimal hours by adding the minutes as a fraction of an hour. Therefore, 1 hour 20 minutes is equivalent to 1.33 hours.

Calculation

To find the distance in degrees of longitude, we can use the formula: \[ \text{Distance (in degrees)} = \text{Time difference (in hours)} \times 15 \]

Substituting the given time difference: \[ \text{Distance (in degrees)} = 1.33 \times 15 \] \[ \text{Distance (in degrees)} = 19.95 \]

Therefore, the distance between the meridians where the local time differs by 1 hour 20 minutes is approximately 19.95 degrees of longitude.
