Answer:

(1)latitude

the distance of a place north or south of the line that we imagine around the middle of the earth (the equator).

(2)longitude

the distance of a place east or west of a line from the North Pole to the South Pole that passes through Greenwich in London. Longitude is measured in degrees.

(3)meridean

a line that we imagine on the surface of the earth that joins the North Pole to the South Pole and passes through a particular place.

(4)prime meridean

A prime meridian is the meridian in a geographic coordinate system at which longitude is defined to be 0°. Together, a prime meridian and its anti-meridian form a great circle. This great circle divides a spheroid into two hemispheres.

(5)local time

the time at a particular place in the world.

(6)standard time

a uniform time for places in approximately the same longitude, established in a country or region by law or custom.

(7)Indian Standard Time

Indian Standard Time (IST) is the time zone observed throughout India, with a time offset of UTC+05:30. India does not observe daylight saving time or other seasonal adjustments.

(8)Greenwich Mean Time

Greenwich Mean Time is the mean solar time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London, reckoned from midnight. At different times in the past, it has been calculated in different ways, including being calculated from noon; as a consequence, it cannot be used to specify a precise time unless a context is given.

(9)International Date Line

The International Date Line (IDL) is an imaginary line of demarcation on the surface of Earth that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole and demarcates the change of one calendar day to the next.

(10)Great Circle

a circle on the surface of a sphere which lies in a plane passing through the sphere's centre. As it represents the shortest distance between any two points on a sphere, a great circle of the earth is the preferred route taken by a ship or aircraft.

(11)Small Circle

A circle of a sphere is a circle that lies on a sphere. Such a circle can be formed as the intersection of a sphere and a plane, or of two spheres. A circle on a sphere whose plane passes through the center of the sphere is called a great circle; otherwise it is a small circle.

(12)Grid

In order to accurately pinpoint the position of any place on earth, a grid system is used. It points to the location by using two coordinates - latitude and longitude. ... The geographical system uses the two fixed points at the ends of the earth's rotational axis, - i.e., the North and the South Poles
