Earth is divided into 360° of longitude, each theoretically representing a different local noon. In practice, political boundaries, population centers, and economic ties produce broad time zones that may stretch across multiple degrees. Cities at the eastern edge of a time zone experience sunrise earlier than those at the western edge, creating noticeable disparities in daily schedules. Understanding how longitude relates to local time explains why certain areas operate in “bright morning light” while others in the same zone remain darker, highlighting the tension between geographic reality and administrative convenience.
