Not only that but a random one. There is no reason why a day has to be 24 hours. It's just been that way for centuries. Same for the number of degrees in a circle. You could make a day 100 hours and circle 100 degrees. Then you could tell what time it was at any location based on longitude.
You already can. Divide the longitude by 15.
Doesn't help much, does it?
Time is a convention. It's arbitrary, but once chosen, it DOES have meaning. Like, I might want the local convenience store to be open at sunrise, but they are going to open at 7AM even if the sunrise is a lot earlier.
