Why is the time at which leo transits the meridian different for mexico city and chicago?
Answered by Damon
Are they at exactly the same longitude?
The sun comes up earlier in the East.
Answered by drwls
All celestial objects (not just Leo) cross the celestial meridian from east to west. The city which is easternmost, which is Chicago in this case, witnesses the meridian crossing first.
