1. 360 degrees
from 180 west to 180 east
2. If its dawn on the east coast it is late in the night here on the west coast.
3. Chicago 41 degrees 59 minutes north and 87 degrees 54 minutes west. One degree latitude is about 69 miles. So 1 minute is a little more than a mile (1.15 miles), a second would be about 100 feet. One degree longitude in Chicago is 69 time the cosine of 42 degrees or 51.3 miles. One minute longitude is 0.86 miles and one second longitude is about 75 feet.
