longitude vs time zone : Local noon is the time that the sun reaches its highest point during the day. Due to the rotation of the earth, this occurs at different times for different longitudes. Using this noon reference the time changes about one hour per each 15 degrees of longitude or 4 minutes per each degree of longitude. Tampa is a little more than 1 degree of longitude west of Orlando. This means that Tampa would be 4 minutes behind Orlando if we based time on the sun being noon. With the invention of railroads, using local time became very inconvenient. In 1884 the world was divided up into time zones. Everywhere within the same time zone will use the same time. Instead of being 4 minutes apart, Orlando and Tampa use the same time because they are in the same time zone. additional, the prime time is located in greenwich in England wich is located on O longitude or prime time.
