Task:
If the time is 12UTC, what is it in Denmark LMT.
Solution:
We add 1 hour and get 13.00 when we have standard time
Task:
How many degrees of longitude do 1 hour correspond to?
Solution:
There are 360 degrees around the earth. The earth is divided into 24 time
zones, each with a difference of one hour.
We get: 360 degrees / 24 hours = 15 degrees equals one hour
