Latitude and Longitude and how it effects the world

Latitude and Longitude effect the planet and how it runs in many different ways. Today in Human Geo I was able to learn some of them. For example I learned that the location that you are at on the globe will effect the time of day it is. If you live in the Central time zone then you are are one hour behind the Eastern time zone. So right now it is 7:10 in the Eastern time zone but 6:10 in the Central time zone. This is because in the United States there are 6 different time zones. Depending on where you are in the United States you will have different Time on a clock, phone Etc. The Earth is divided into 24 time zones. 360 degrees divided 24 time zones equals 15 degrees. Located at the Prime Meridian is Greenwich England. It is considered the Master reference time for all points on Earth.
