🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between longitude and time (15° of longitude = 1 hour of time) • How to handle east to west changes in longitude when converting time • Effect of crossing the International Date Line (180°) on the calendar date

💭 Think About

• First, find the total difference in longitude between 165°E and 165°W. How many degrees apart are they, and how many hours of time does that represent? • Decide whether the second position (165°W) is earlier or later in time than the first position (165°E). Are you effectively moving east or west in standard time-keeping terms? • Think about whether moving between these longitudes requires crossing the 180° meridian (International Date Line). If you do, does the date move forward or backward?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the sign convention: longitudes east and west are counted from 0°–180°. How do you treat E vs W when finding time difference? • Confirm the direction of time change: when you move west, does local time get later or earlier? When you move east, does it get later or earlier? • After adjusting the clock time, double-check whether you must change the date (go to the previous or next calendar day) to keep Universal Time consistent.
