Question

29. Distinguish between :
(a) Local Time and Standard Time
(b) Parallels and Meridians
(c) Equator and Prime Meridian​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Equator separates the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Prime Meridian separates the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. Equator is at 0° latitude. Prime Meridian runs through Greenwich and is at 0° longitude.

The time meridian is each standard time zone roughly centered on a line of longitude exactly divisible by 15 degrees and the prime meridian is the starting point for the standard time zones an arbitrary longitude line.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\tt \red{Local \: Time \: and \: Standard \: Time}$

• Local time implies the time of a particular country, as regards the meridian running through it. On the contrary.
• Changes continuously with the change in longitude.
• Places on the same longitude have same local time.
• Shadow cast by the sun.

• Standard time is referred as the official local time of a region ascertained by the distance from the Prime Meridian of the meridian running through the area.
• Remains same for a particular country.
• Places on the same longitude have different standard time.
• Time zones

$\tt \red{Parallels \: \: and \: \: Meridians}$

• Parallels run from east to west and never intersect with each other .
• Meridians run from north to south and intersect at the north and south poles.
• Parallels don't intersect.
• All meridians intersect at two places, the North Pole and the South Pole.

$\tt \red{Equator \: and \: \: Prime \: Meridian}$

• The Prime Meridian divides the globe into Eastern and Western hemispheres, just as the equator divides the globe into Northern and Southern hemispheres.
• The Prime Meridian is at 0 degrees longitude, just as the equator is at 0 degrees latitude.
