if it is 6pm @ 45 degree east what time will it be at 60 degree west?
Step 1- 60 degree + 45 degree = 105 degree
Step 2 - 105 degree / 15 degree = 7 hrs
Step 3 - 6 pm + 7 hrs = 1 am
towards west calcualte 7hrs backwards and towards east calculate forward
11 A.M
11am
Check this map. Note that part of Russia and Saudi Arabia are 45 degrees east and are shown in purple. 60 degrees west goes through part of Greenland, Brazil and Argentina.

To determine the time difference between two locations, you need to find the time zone difference between them. The Earth is divided into 24 time zones, with each zone representing a difference of approximately 15 degrees longitude.
To find the time difference between 45 degrees east and 60 degrees west, we can calculate the total distance between the two longitudes and divide by the distance represented by each time zone.
First, we'll calculate the total distance between the longitudes:
60 degrees west - (-45 degrees east) = 60 + 45 = 105 degrees.
Next, we'll divide this total distance by the distance represented by each time zone (15 degrees):
105 degrees / 15 degrees/time zone = 7 time zones.
Therefore, the time difference between 45 degrees east and 60 degrees west is 7 time zones.
To determine what time it will be at 60 degrees west relative to 6 PM at 45 degrees east, we need to know the time zone of the reference location. Assuming we are using GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) as the reference, we can calculate the time difference by multiplying the number of time zones (7) by the time difference for each zone (approximately 1 hour).
Therefore, it will be 7 hours behind the time at 45 degrees east.
If it is 6 PM at 45 degrees east, subtracting 7 hours would give us 11 AM.
So, it would be around 11 AM at 60 degrees west when it is 6 PM at 45 degrees east.
