🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between Local Mean Time (LMT), zone time (ZT), and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) • How longitude (east or west) affects the conversion between local time and Greenwich Hour Angle (GHA) or GMT • When using the Nautical Almanac, times are entered as GMT/UT, not local time

💭 Think About

• First, decide whether you need GMT or local time to use the Nautical Almanac for the Sun’s declination at LAN. What time scale is the Almanac based on? • Convert 1152 Local Mean Time at longitude 73°15′ E to the corresponding GMT. Does being east of Greenwich make GMT earlier or later than local time? • Compare your converted GMT with the answer choices: which one most closely matches the correct GMT (to the nearest minute) you would enter in the Almanac?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that the Nautical Almanac uses GMT/UT, not Local Mean Time, for its daily pages • Compute the correct time zone difference from 73°15′ E (how many hours and minutes difference from Greenwich?) • Make sure the final time you choose is expressed in 24-hour GMT format and matches one of the choices.
