Question

On 22 November your 1400 ZT DR position is LAT 22&deg;16.0'N, LONG 136&deg;37.0'E. You are on course 038&deg;T at a speed of 22 knots. What will be the zone time of sunset at your vessel?

Accepted Answer

Option A: 1705. Sunset is computed using the Nautical Almanac and Bowditch tables. Applying the vessel's estimated position, date, and longitude conversion to LDT determines the exact local apparent time of sunset, which translates to 1705 zone time.
