🔍 Key Concepts

• Longitude time conversion: every 15° of longitude equals 1 hour of time difference • East vs. West longitudes: how local time relates to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT/UT) when you are east of Greenwich • Date change: when adding or subtracting hours, check if you cross midnight and change the calendar date

💭 Think About

• First, convert 124° of longitude into an equivalent number of hours and minutes of time. How many full 15° segments fit into 124°, and what is the remainder? • Since you are at 124°E, is your local mean time ahead of or behind Greenwich time? Based on that, should you add or subtract the longitude time from your local mean time to get Greenwich time? • After adjusting the time, did you cross 0000 or 2400? If so, what happens to the date at Greenwich compared to your local date of the 5th?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm the time difference between local meridian (124°E) and Greenwich (0°) in hours and minutes before touching the multiple-choice answers • Double-check the direction of time correction (add vs. subtract) for an easterly longitude when going from Local Mean Time (LMT) to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) • Verify whether the date at Greenwich should be the 4th or the 5th after your time correction, before choosing an option
