how?
from greenwhich time difference will be always zero, both sun and moon take same time to make a revolution in the sky
but for phileas fog who travelled around the world he will count a 2 days difference between sun time and moon time
so the rest is easy
360º 2 days
90º 12 hour
30º 4 hour
15º 2 hour
so whats wrong with this?
why this isnt in books?
answer right any of this and youll have your poll
but i bet for sure like when the time i had no money and i bet one euro i could drink a beer of one swallow

Do remember there are 23 hours 56 minutes and 4.09 seconds in a sidereal day ... not 24 hours.
I want all those stolen minutes back !
