Time zones and the date line, sentence 5

The Earth turns 360 degrees in 24 hours, so it turns 15 degrees of longitude every hour, which is the basic width of a time zone; one degree takes 4 minutes, so a town 2 or 3 degrees west of another sees noon about 10 minutes later.

Who acts: Earth, hour, one degree, town · What happens: turn, be, take, see · To what, where: 360 degrees, 15 degrees, basic width
