If it is 7:30 p.m. Thursday in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada (97°W), what day and time is it in Harare, Zimbabwe (31°E)?
You may not always have a time zone map available, but by remembering the relationship of 1 hour for every 15° of longitude, you can easily calculate the difference in time between places. Indicating and using the standard meridians to determine time zones, solve the following problems.
What will be an ideal response?
Calgary is at 114°W, it is closest to the 120°W standard meridian – Pacific Standard Time. However, Calgary uses Mountain Time based on the 105°W meridian, which would put Harare only 9 hours later than Calgary.
