Answer:

Latitude and Longitude do NOT change they are set. They form a grid system which enables us to locate ANY position on the planet. Time is always on the move 24 hrs being one rotation of the planet. Every hour the earth will rotate 15 degrees of Longitude. Days begin and end on the International dateline which for the most part follows the 180 deg line of Longitude. If you are moving from west longitude heading into East Longitude (traveling West) You will move into tomorrow. If you are in the eastern hemisphere and travel into the western hemisphere (traveling East) then you will move into yesterday.
