Let’s take greater distances into consideration. Assuming that you lived along 40°W longitude, and it was solar noon (subsolar point), what would be the solar time at each of the following different locations at the same moment in time? (Hint: first calculate the total distance in degrees, then decide if the location is either westward or eastward of your location. Lastly, convert the difference in degrees into minutes and hours of time). Be sure to use Figure 1.13 to help you calculate the total distance in degrees and show your work. a. 60°W: b. 55°E: c. 80°W: d. 140°E
