ECZ 2023 · GCE Paper 1 — Earth Geometry

Towns A and B are on longitudes 75°W and 45°E respectively. Find the time difference between these towns.

  • A. 5 hours
  • B. 120 hours
  • C. 8 hours
  • D. 2 hours

Verified working — step 1

A and B sit on OPPOSITE sides of the Greenwich meridian, so their longitudes add - then every 15° of longitude is 1 hour.

The full step-by-step working and final answer, plus the video lesson for this topic, are included with Premium — checked against ECZ marking standards.
