http://tomscott.com - http://twitter.com/tomscott - If you travel to Greenwich, stand on the famous Prime Meridian Line -- which is marked with a physical line and a sculpture at the Royal Observatory -- and look at your GPS, it won't read 0° longitude. It'll be slightly out. Who's right? And why?
Many thanks to my lovely cameraman Tom Morris (http://tommorris.org), who dealt with the cold wind admirably!
Time zones are based on the fact that the Earth moves 15 degrees longitude each hour. Since there are 24 hours in a day there are 24 standard time zones. (24 hours x 15º=360º)
Time zones are counted from the Prime Meridian (0º longitude). Each time zone is counted at 15 º intervals and extends 7½º either side of a central meridian. For example, Sydney, Australia lies in the 150ºE central meridian, and the time zone includes all locations between 142½ºE and 157½ºE.

Both, meridians and parallels, form the geographic coordinate system based on latitude and longitude
Meridians are the terrestrial geoid highs semicircles passing through the poles, imaginary lines used to determine the microseconds. By extension, are also the maximum semicircles passing through the poles of any reference sphere or spheroid. All observers located on the same meridian are at the same time, in the lighted half of Earth, the Sun at the top of its course when the Sun is at the top of the course indicating noon.
By resolution, adopted at an international conference held in 1884 in Washington, and sponsored by then President of the United States, attended by delegates from 25 countries, the "reference meridian ", from which lengths are measured , i.e. , which is considered the "longitude 0 °", is the Greenwich meridian, so called because it passes through the ancient observatory in Greenwich.
Circle formed by the intersection of land area with an imaginary plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the Earth is called parallel.
On the parallels, and from the Greenwich meridian, meridian that is taken as origin, measure the length, the circle is expressed in degrees, which may be East or West, depending on the direction of measurement of the same. Unlike meridians, parallels are not as great circles, except Equator, do not contain the center of the Earth.
The angle ( with vertex at the center of the Earth ) on any plane parallel and meridian for the equator is called latitude and is the same for all points of the parallel , which discriminates between North and South latitude, according to hemisphere.
There are five main striking parallels or corresponding to a particular position of the Earth in its orbit around the sun, and therefore receives a particular name:
-Arctic Circle (latitude 66 ° 33 ' N = 90 º - 23 º 27').
-Tropic of Cancer (latitude 23 ° 27 ' N). It further north latitude at which the sun reaches its zenith. This occurs at the June solstice.
- Equator (latitude 0 °). In Equator the Sun culminates at the zenith on the equinox of spring and autumn.
- Tropic of Capricorn (latitude 23 ° 27 ' S). Is the parallel further south where the sun reaches the zenith. This occurs at the December solstice.
- Antarctic Circle (latitude 66 ° 33 ' S).

El meridiano de Greenwich es el semicírculo imaginario que une los polos y pasa por Greenwich, más precisamente por el antiguo observatorio astronómico de este suburbio de Londres.
El meridiano de Greenwich sirve de meridiano de origen: es a partir de él que se miden las longitudes, en grados, es decir, que corresponde a la longitud cero, por lo que también se llama meridiano cero y primer meridiano.
Se adoptó como referencia en una conferencia internacional celebrada en 1884 en Washington auspiciada por el presidente de los EE.UU., a la que asistieron delegados de 25 países.

Prime meridian (Greenwich)
Coordinates: 51°28′40.12″N 0°00′05.31″W / 51.4778111°N 0.0014750°W / 51.4778111; -0.0014750
A prime meridian, based at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, in London, was established by Sir George Airy in 1851. By 1884, over two-thirds of all ships and tonnage used it as the reference meridian on their charts and maps. In October of that year, at the behest of U.S. President Chester A. Arthur, 41 delegates from 25 nations met in Washington, D.C., USA, for the International Meridian Conference. This conference selected the meridian passing through Greenwich as the official prime meridian due to its popularity. However, France abstained from the vote and French maps continued to use the Paris meridian for several decades. In the 18th century, London lexicographer, Malachy Postlethwayt published his African maps showing the 'Meridian of London' intersecting the Equator a few degrees west of the later meridian and Accra, Ghana.
The prime meridian passes through the Airy transit circle (51°28′40.1″N 0°0′5.3″W / 51.477806°N 0.001472°W / 51.477806; -0.001472 (Airy Transit)) of the Greenwich observatory. It was long marked by a brass strip in the courtyard, now replaced by stainless steel, and, since 16 December 1999, has been marked by a powerful green laser shining north across the London night sky.

Greenwich
Coordinates: 51°29′N 0°00′E / 51.48°N 0.00°E / 51.48; 0.00
Greenwich (
i/ˈɡrɛnɪtʃ/, /ˈɡrɪnɪdʒ/, /ˈɡrɪnɪtʃ/ or /ˈɡrɛnɪdʒ/) is an early-established district of today's London, England, centred 5.5 miles (8.9 km) east south-east of Charing Cross. The town lends its name to the Royal Borough of Greenwich.
Greenwich is generally described as being part of South-east London and sometimes as being part of East London. It is also one of the five boroughs of the London Docklands, connected to areas with docks of London historically by river and today to Canary Wharf and other buildings by the East London Line.
Greenwich is notable for its maritime history and for giving its name to the Greenwich Meridian (0° longitude) and Greenwich Mean Time. The town became the site of a royal palace, the Palace of Placentia from the 15th century, and was the birthplace of many Tudors, including Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. The palace fell into disrepair during the English Civil War and was rebuilt as the Royal Naval Hospital for Sailors by Sir Christopher Wren and his assistant Nicholas Hawksmoor. These buildings became the Royal Naval College in 1873, and they remained an establishment for military education until 1998 when they passed into the hands of the Greenwich Foundation. The historic rooms within these buildings remain open to the public; other buildings are used by University of Greenwich and Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance.

Se adoptó como referencia en una conferencia internacional celebrada en 1884 en Washington auspiciada por el presidente de los EE.UU., a la que asistieron delegados de 25 países.

Greenwich, England - Time To Travel
Time to Travel visits Greenwich. The trip from Westminster Pier to Greenwich via the Thames River takes about one hour. Boatman offer a tongue and cheek narrative about history and points of interest along the River. The tour passes under Tower Bridge and passes by the modern business district at Canary Wharf. In Greenwich we tour the Old Navel College, now home to Greenwich University. We also climb to the Royal Observatory where visitors can stand astride the Prime Meridian with one foot in the Western Hemisphere and the other in the Eastern Hemisphere. This area of London will play a mayor role in the 2010 Summer Olympics. Greenwich is a great day trip but can also be done in half a day if you are pressed for time. It's well worth taking time to travel to Greenwich. This video ...

Greenwich green laser - snow in London 2013
Cool gleaming effect created by falling snow. Filmed on 18.01.2013, Greenwich, London. Greenwich Meridian: British astronomers have long used the Royal Observatory as a basis for measurement: four separate meridians have been drawn through the building. The basis of longitude, the Prime Meridian, established in 1851 and adopted at an international conference in 1884, passes through the Airy transit circle of the observatory. It was long marked by a brass strip in the courtyard, now upgraded to stainless steel, and, since 16 December 1999, has been marked by a powerful green laser shining north across the London night sky. This old astronomical prime meridian has been replaced by a more modern prime meridian. When Greenwich was an active observatory, geographical coordinates were referr...

About this Video:
LONGITUDES
Longitude describes the location of a place on the earth...east or west of a north to south running imaginary line called the prime meridian.
The lines of longitude are lines running north - south through the poles.
Longitude is the number of degrees east or west of the prime meridian (zero degree) which passes through Greenwich (England).
Lines of longitude are measured from the centre of the earth.
These lines divide the world up into segments.
The prime meridian (zero degree) and the 180th meridian(at 180 degree longitude) is a great circle that divides the earth into the EASTERN and the WESTERN hemisphere.
The 180 degree longitude line is also referred to as the international date line.
MERDIANS
Longitude is defined in terms of meridians which are half circles running from pole to pole.
The meridians are numbered up to 180 degree to the east and west of the line of 0 (Zero) degree longitude or the prime meridian
The value of a meridian is followed by the letter 'E' or 'W'.
180 degree E and 180 degree W meridians are the same.
There are 360 meridians in total.
The word meridian means the highest position of a star or the sun which reaches its highest position at midday.
A line of longitude is called a meridian of longitude because all places located on it have midday at the same time.
Meridians are not parallel..they come together at the poles.
EARTH'S GRID
THE PARALLELS AND MERIDIANS FORM A MESH OR A GRID.
THE GRID IS FOUND ON FLAT MAPS AND GLOBES.
LONGITUDE AND TIME
AS THE EARTH TURNS THE SUN APPEARS TO MOVE ACROSS THE SKY.
THIS MOTION GIVES US DAY AND NIGHT.
OUR GLOBAL TIME SYSTEM IS ALSO ORIENTED TO THE SUN.
EVERYDAY THE SUN RISES IN THE EAST AND SETS IN THE WEST. THIS MOVEMENT IS CAUSED BY THE ROTATION OF EARTH FROM WEST TO EAST. THERFORE PLACES TO THE EAST OF A GIVEN LONGITUDE WILL HAVE SUNRISE FIRST.
The earth takes 24 hours to cover 360 meridians.
This means that it covers 360/24= 15 degree meridians in 1 hour ... or one meridian in 4 mins (60 mins/15)
BASED ON THIS CALCULATION THE DIFFERENCE IN TIME OF DIFFERENT PLACES IS CALCULATED.
TIME ZONES
EARLIER PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT THE WHOLE WORLD SHOULD SET THEIR CLOCK AT THE SAME TIME .....................
BUT THIS WAS NOT POSSIBLE AS THE SUN DOES NOT SHINE ON ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD AT THE SAME TIME.
In 1884 scientist solved this issue by dividing the world into 24 time zones. Each zone is approximately 15 degree longitude wide.
Greenwich England was chosen to be the location for universal time because its located along the prime meridian.
The time in each zone is calculated by this universal time, also known as the GREENWICH MEAN TIME.
For e.g.: CHICAGO is GMT minus 6 hrs....so when its 7 pm in GREENWICH (7-6=1) ,it is 1 pm in CHICAGO.
Local time
The local time of a place is fixed on the basis of the apparent movement of the sun.
When the sun shines exactly Overhead it is mid day or 12 noon at that place.
Mid day occurs at different times at different meridians...... so the local time varies from one meridian to another.
STANDARD TIME
It is the time in any of the 24 time zones (each an hour apart) into which the earth is divided.
The Indian standard time is the time observed throughout INDIA or SRILANKA.
The IST is calculated on the basis of 82 ½ degree E longitude which is just WEST of the town MIRZAPUR, near ALLAHABAD (U.P).
The longitudinal difference between Mirzapur and GREENWICH is 5 hr 30 min.
As the standard meridian of India is towards the east of the PRIME MERIDIAN, the standard time of India is 5 hrs 30 mins ahead of GMT.

Cool gleaming effect created by falling snow. Filmed on 18.01.2013, Greenwich, London.
Greenwich Meridian:
British astronomers have long used the Royal Observatory as a basis for measurement: four separate meridians have been drawn through the building. The basis of longitude, the Prime Meridian, established in 1851 and adopted at an international conference in 1884, passes through the Airy transit circle of the observatory. It was long marked by a brass strip in the courtyard, now upgraded to stainless steel, and, since 16 December 1999, has been marked by a powerful green laser shining north across the London night sky.
This old astronomical prime meridian has been replaced by a more modern prime meridian. When Greenwich was an active observatory, geographical coordinates were referred to a local oblate spheroid called a datum, whose surface closely matched local mean sea level, called the geoid. Several datums were in use around the world, all using different spheroids, because mean sea level undulates by as much as 100 metres worldwide. Modern geodetic reference systems, such as the World Geodetic System and the International Terrestrial Reference Frame, use a single Earth-centered oblate spheroid. The shift from several spheroids to one worldwide spheroid caused all geographical coordinates to shift by many metres, sometimes as much as several hundred metres. The Prime Meridian of these modern reference systems is 102.5 metres east of the Greenwich astronomical meridian represented by the stainless steel strip. Thus the strip is now 5.31 arcseconds West. The modern location of the Airy Transit is 51°28′40.1247″N 0°0′5.3101″W
