What will be the local time in Nigerian long(20*E) when it is 5.00pm in Ethiopia long (50*E)
To determine the local time in Nigerian Longitude 20°E when it is 5:00 PM in Ethiopian Longitude 50°E, we need to account for the time difference between the two locations.
Step 1: Calculate the time difference
The time difference between Ethiopian Longitude 50°E and Nigerian Longitude 20°E can be found by dividing the longitudinal distance between the two locations by 15 degrees. Since each time zone represents a longitudinal difference of 15 degrees, we can calculate the time difference as follows:
Time Difference = (Ethiopian Longitude - Nigerian Longitude) / 15
Time Difference = (50°E - 20°E) / 15
Time Difference = 30°E / 15
Time Difference = 2 hours
Step 2: Calculate the local time in Nigerian Longitude 20°E
Since the time difference is 2 hours, we can add 2 hours to the given time in Ethiopia:
5:00 PM + 2 hours = 7:00 PM
Therefore, the local time in Nigerian Longitude 20°E when it is 5:00 PM in Ethiopian Longitude 50°E will be 7:00 PM.
