Q1. The sun rises two hours earlier in Arunachal Pradesh as compared to Gujarat in the west but watches show the same time. How does it happen? (Question of Geography Chapter-1 NCERT i.e. India, size and location)
Ans- This kind of situation occurs due to local time difference as the sun rises earlier in the east than the west. Thus, sun seems to rise earlier in Arunachal Pradesh as compared to Gujarat. But, the watches shows same time in both places because the time is standard for the entire country. The standard time is the time shown in the standard meridian 82°30' which passes through Mirzapur in Uttar Pradesh.
