How it works
- 4 minutes per degree. The Earth turns 360° a day, so the sun crosses one degree of longitude every four minutes.
- Zones round it off. A time zone is 15° wide, and every clock in it shows the time at its central meridian.
- Up to 30 minutes out. The farther you are from that line, the more your clock and the sun disagree — half an hour at the zone’s edge.
Uses idealised 15° zones and mean solar time. Real zone borders, daylight saving and the sun’s seasonal wobble aren’t modelled.
