What would be the time at the North pole if GMT is noon?

Question

All meridians(longitudes)converge at the poles.Since the difference from each meridian is one hour, does it mean all of them will converge timewise to one particular time? if so which one?

Answer 1

Its any time. Standing on North pole, if you look through 10 deg longitude line its 10 deg longitude time and Longitude 20 means time at Longitude 20 deg and so on. So it is ideal to refer to the standard time which is GMT line.

Answer 2

Magnetic north is in Canada so it will be about 7 in the morning.

I know that wasn't your question though :)

Times do not converge no, and since the latitudinal north is only a pinpoint no one really cares about the time there. You could say it is whatever time you wish. But as you tend to be in one direction or another away from the exact north point then you use the time attributed to the longitude you are in.

Of course if youve got big feet you could stand about all 24 time zones at once and it'll be breakfast, work time, sleep time and dinner all at once! Bliss

Answer 3

At the poles, there would be a vertical axis (line) having no specific time. Because you are a 3-D object (person), while standing atop the pole, your liver could be in several time zones all different than the back of your head. Spin and you would have to constantly reset your watch. In short, you could have the time of your life. Dress warm!

Answer 4

What a cool place (no pun intended) to take a date... You could set up a tent right at the North Pole and then tell your friends you made love for 24 hours straight in every time zone in the world....

Answer 5

my best guess is it depends which way you are facing. but to simplify matters - GMT or UTC is best to use or you use the time zone of the nearest base of origin.

Answer 6

god knows...!!
